Orchard Farm is a five-bedroom detached house in King's Lynn (PE32 1PA). It has a recorded floor area of 251 m² (around 2703 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a corner plot. The latest certificate (October 2009) shows an F (score 29), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 41). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since October 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. Sale prices here have outpaced England HPI: 9.7% per year against 0% for the wider region. Today's modelled estimate of £632,000 is 47% above the 2010 sale price. At 251 m² the property is well over the postcode median (100 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). 13 planning records sit against the property, 6 approved, 5 refused. Past consents include an extension, a garage conversion and an annexe, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.
