Overview

About Orchards Farm

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

Orchards Farm is a detached house in Great Witley, Worcester, Worcester (WR6 6HU). It has a recorded floor area of 158 m² (around 1701 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in July 2015 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
