About 20 Orchard Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

20 Orchard Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Southminster (CM0 7DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
