Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?
This detached bungalow is located in NEWMARKET, CB8 8AH. The property offers 180m² (1938 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated G (1/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (65/100). The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. 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. 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 £5471, comprising £5093 for heating, £214 for hot water, and £164 for lighting. The property produces 20.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
