About This Property
This detached house is located in REDDITCH, B97 5PJ. The property offers 191m² (2056 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 10 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. 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 B rating (91/100). 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 property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Double glazing is installed, though the efficiency rating suggests older units. Modern low-E double glazing can be up to 40% more efficient than units installed before 2002. Estimated annual energy costs are £1780, comprising £1442 for heating, £183 for hot water, and £155 for lighting. The property produces 9.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in March 2016 for £560,000.
