About Orchard Cottage

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

Orchard Cottage is a semi-detached house in Cookham, Maidenhead, Maidenhead (SL6 9PH). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump.
