About This Property
This terraced house is located in STEVENAGE, SG2 8AR. The property offers 136m² (1464 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property holds an EPC rating of C (72/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency.

Estimated annual energy costs are £1347, comprising £977 for heating, £290 for hot water, and £80 for lighting. The property produces 3.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
