Overview

About Orchard Cottage

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

Orchard Cottage is a detached house in Outgate, Ambleside, Ambleside (LA22 0NH). It has a recorded floor area of 204 m² (around 2196 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (October 2018) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump.

Today's modelled estimate of £894,000 is 20.9% below the 2021 sale of £1,130,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£515/sq ft) was about 70.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 204 m² the property is well over the postcode median (77 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2026. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Sold March 2021 for £1,130,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
