This detached house is located in LOUGHTON, IG10 4AP. The property offers 268mยฒ (2885 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. The property has an EPC rating of E (51/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (64/100). The gas central heating system has average efficiency, indicating a boiler that may be 10-15 years old. While functional, upgrading to a modern A-rated condensing boiler could improve efficiency by 15-25%. The walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. 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 ยฃ1783, comprising ยฃ1356 for heating, ยฃ206 for hot water, and ยฃ221 for lighting. The property produces 12.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in October 2015 for ยฃ1,185,000.
