Overview

About 7 Minters Orchard

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

7 Minters Orchard is a four-bedroom detached house in Platt, Sevenoaks, Sevenoaks (TN15 8JQ). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1259 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (March 2022) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). Other recorded features include notable views and a conservatory. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Held since February 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.
