About This Property
This detached house is located in NORWICH, NR6 6DD. The property offers 259m² (2788 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 8 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property holds an EPC rating of C (76/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. This property benefits from a air source heat pump system, which can deliver 3-4 units of heat for every unit of electricity used. Heat pumps are eligible for the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, making them increasingly popular for UK homes seeking to reduce carbon emissions. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings.

Estimated annual energy costs are £4733, comprising £3777 for heating, £674 for hot water, and £282 for lighting. The property produces 4.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
