How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Orchard Cottages is modelled from its 129 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TQ9 7UY. 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.

About 1 Orchard Cottages
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Orchard Cottages is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Ashprington, Totnes, Totnes (TQ9 7UY). It has a recorded floor area of 129 m² (around 1389 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2013) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Main heating runs on wood logs. The latest certificate is from January 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings.
It hasn't traded since July 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 129 m² the property is well over the postcode median (80 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2008–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at -37.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £391,000 sits 160.7% above the 2008 sale of £150,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£108/sq ft) was about 69.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 1 Orchard Cottages is modelled from its 129 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TQ9 7UY. 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 1 Orchard Cottages. 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 1 Orchard Cottages was lodged in January 2013 at band D and expired in January 2023, 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 1 Orchard Cottages. 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 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 1 school and 10 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TQ9 7UY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Orchard Cottages is in council tax band E. 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.
