About Orchard Villa
Orchard Villa is a four-bedroom detached house in King's Lynn (PE32 2AR). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2018) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Held since August 1995 — that's 31 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 £336,000 sits 360.3% above the 1995 sale of £73,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£75/sq ft) was about 63.8% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 90 m² it sits well below the postcode median (154 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs).
