8 Orchard Close is a detached house in Hughenden Valley, High Wycombe, High Wycombe (HP14 4PR). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1112 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2010) shows an F (score 23), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 56), a 2-band jump.
