About This Property
This semi-detached house is located in SUNDERLAND, SR3 3NE. The property offers 171m² (1841 sq ft) of spacious living space with 9 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. With an EPC rating of D (66/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (75/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. Double glazing is installed, though the efficiency rating suggests older units. Modern low-E double glazing can be up to 40% more efficient than units installed before 2002. Estimated annual energy costs are £3545, comprising £3110 for heating, £229 for hot water, and £206 for lighting. The property produces 7.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home. The property last sold in October 2022 for £202,000.
