Overview

About Orchard House

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

Orchard House is a four-bedroom detached house in Hamstreet, Ashford, Ashford (TN26 2HH). It has a recorded floor area of 165 m² (around 1773 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows a G (score 15), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to F (score 28). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

Held since May 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 165 m² the property is well over the postcode median (89 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Across 1995–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £649,000 sits 64.3% above the 2010 sale of £395,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£223/sq ft) was about 41.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Orchard House is modelled from its 165 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TN26 2HH. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for Orchard House. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Orchard House was lodged in March 2010 at band G and expired in March 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Orchard House. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 1 school and 13 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TN26 2HH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Orchard House is in council tax band F. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
