Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This detached bungalow is located in TUNBRIDGE WELLS, TN2 5DU. The property offers 69.86m² (752 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (35/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (62/100). Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating. While effective, oil prices can be volatile and the system produces higher carbon emissions than gas or heat pumps. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. Estimated annual energy costs are £1238, comprising £941 for heating, £260 for hot water, and £37 for lighting. The property produces 7.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
