About 19 Desert Orchid Road

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

19 Desert Orchid Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Prestbury, Cheltenham, Cheltenham (GL52 5FD). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1184 sq ft) and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2018) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 87).
