About Orchard Lea
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Orchard Lea is a detached house in Boars Hill, Oxford, Oxford (OX1 5DF). It has a recorded floor area of 368 m² (around 3963 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £2,009,000 is 56.3% below the 2017 sale of £4,600,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,161/sq ft) was about 200.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 368 m² the property is well over the postcode median (37 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Last sold in April 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. 4 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Orchard Lea is modelled from its 368 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OX1 5DF. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Orchard Lea. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Orchard Lea was lodged in September 2009 at band E and expired in September 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to Orchard Lea. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 3 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OX1 5DF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Orchard Lea is in council tax band G. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
