About This Property

This semi-detached house is located in WARMINSTER, BA12 0RG. The property offers 115m² (1238 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of D (56/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (73/100). The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs. While having low installation costs, running costs are typically higher than gas central heating. A heat pump could reduce electricity use by 60-70%. The property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £1352, comprising £1037 for heating, £175 for hot water, and £140 for lighting. The property produces 6.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home. The property last sold in May 2022 for £350,000, with 3 recorded sales in our database.
