About This E-Rated Property
This detached bungalow is located in CASTLEFORD, WF10 2HP. The property offers 90.76m² (977 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property has an EPC rating of E (51/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. 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 throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £1359, comprising £1110 for heating, £132 for hot water, and £117 for lighting. The property produces 7.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
