About This Property

This semi-detached house is located in CAMBRIDGE, CB23 8DE. The property offers 68mยฒ (732 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of D (57/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a A rating (109/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs ยฃ8,000-ยฃ14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs ยฃ300-ยฃ500 and could save ยฃ150-ยฃ250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. 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 ยฃ942, comprising ยฃ785 for heating, ยฃ105 for hot water, and ยฃ52 for lighting. The property produces 4.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. The property last sold in November 2017 for ยฃ260,000.
