Overview

About 3 Orchard Bank

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

3 Orchard Bank is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Chart Sutton, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME17 3SG). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 881 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2011) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £322,000 sits 78.9% above the 2012 sale of £180,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£204/sq ft) was about 24.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Last changed hands 14 years ago, in June 2012.
