About The Old Orchard
The Old Orchard is a detached house in Flaxton, York, York (YO60 7RS). It has a recorded floor area of 148 m² (around 1593 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
