Overview

About 14 Orchard Close

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

14 Orchard Close is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Combe, Witney, Witney (OX29 8NU). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (October 2018) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (October 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil.

Held since November 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £353,000 sits 283.7% above the 1996 sale of £92,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£95/sq ft) was about 71.6% below the postcode norm. At 90 m² it's 18.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (111 m² median across 6 EPCs).
