About Orchard View
Orchard View is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Doddington, Sittingbourne, Sittingbourne (ME9 0BN). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 924 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2011) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 53). The latest certificate is from June 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Period features are noted in the property record.
