About This Property
This detached house is located in NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE, NE15 8UT. The property offers 82m² (883 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of D (55/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (79/100). This property benefits from a air source heat pump system, which can deliver 3-4 units of heat for every unit of electricity used. Heat pumps are eligible for the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, making them increasingly popular for UK homes seeking to reduce carbon emissions. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £1517, comprising £955 for heating, £447 for hot water, and £115 for lighting. The property produces 4.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. The property last sold in February 2024 for £180,000.
