Overview

About Orchard Bungalow

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

Orchard Bungalow is a two-bedroom detached house in King's Lynn (PE32 2BE). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1950-1966. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in February 2015 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 78 m² the property is well over the postcode median (55 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £395,000 is 31.7% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£357/sq ft) was about 33.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in October 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
