Overview

About 9 Desert Orchid Road

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

9 Desert Orchid Road is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Prestbury, Cheltenham, Cheltenham (GL52 5FD). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1076 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2022) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since August 2012. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 90).

It hasn't traded since November 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £479,000 sits 59.7% above the 2007 sale of £299,995.
