About This Property
This detached bungalow is located in PENZANCE, TR18 3NA. The property offers 53m² (570 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. With an EPC rating of D (63/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (87/100). 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 £491, comprising £284 for heating, £157 for hot water, and £50 for lighting. The property produces 2.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in October 2020 for £265,000.
