About 23 Orchard Road
23 Orchard Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Skidby, Cottingham, Cottingham (HU16 5TL). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 690 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views.
It hasn't traded since June 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 64 m² it sits well below the postcode median (119 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2005–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £228,000 is 30.3% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£254/sq ft) was about 88.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2006.
