It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated G (19/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements.

The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands.

Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows.
