Overview

About 1 Orchard Lane

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

1 Orchard Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Challock, Ashford, Ashford (TN25 4AD). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows an F (score 26), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (May 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2009–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £238,000 is 25.4% above the 2022 sale price. Sold August 2022 for £189,800. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
