Overview

About Orchard Lea

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

Orchard Lea is a detached house in Castle Eaton, Swindon, Swindon (SN6 6LF). It has a recorded floor area of 147 m² (around 1582 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82).
