About This Property
This terraced bungalow is located in LEIGH, WN7 5LD. The property offers 31m² (334 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. With an EPC rating of D (60/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a A rating (95/100). The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs. While having low installation costs, running costs are typically higher than gas central heating.

Estimated annual energy costs are £990, comprising £593 for heating, £354 for hot water, and £43 for lighting. The property produces 3.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
