Overview

About 9 Vicars Orchard

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

9 Vicars Orchard is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bulmer, Sudbury, Sudbury (CO10 7TB). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (August 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 24 years, with the last transfer in February 2002. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused, 1 pending. Past consents include tree works, an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. An active application for tree works is awaiting a decision. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. Across 1996–2002, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £338,000 sits 144% above the 2002 sale of £138,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£126/sq ft) was about 28.6% below the postcode norm.
