About This Property

This semi-detached house is located in LIVERPOOL, L9 7AD. The property offers 122m² (1313 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. With an EPC rating of D (62/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency.

Estimated annual energy costs are £2698, comprising £1998 for heating, £567 for hot water, and £133 for lighting. The property produces 3.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
