Overview

About Orchard House

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

Orchard House is a detached house in Barham, Huntingdon, Huntingdon (PE28 5AB). It has a recorded floor area of 494 m² (around 5317 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while main heating dropped from Average to Poor. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since October 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 494 m² the property is well over the postcode median (206 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 83% of similar EPCs). Across 2009–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 50% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £922,000 sits 145.9% above the 2009 sale of £375,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£71/sq ft) was about 65% below the postcode norm. 5 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
