About This Property
This terraced house is located in BOURNEMOUTH, BH8 0HD. The property offers 79.14m² (852 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. 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 C rating (71/100). The gas central heating system has average efficiency, indicating a boiler that may be 10-15 years old.

Estimated annual energy costs are £714, comprising £500 for heating, £157 for hot water, and £57 for lighting. The property produces 4.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
