About 4 Orchard Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Orchard Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Marshfield, Cardiff, Cardiff (CF3 2UA). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
