Perch Orchard is a five-bedroom detached house in Milton Bryan, Milton Keynes, Milton Keynes (MK17 9HS). It has a recorded floor area of 237 m² (around 2551 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows a C (score 71).

Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good.
