About This Property

This semi-detached house is located in MELTON CONSTABLE, NR24 2HQ. The property offers 121m² (1302 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 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.

Estimated annual energy costs are £862, comprising £471 for heating, £307 for hot water, and £84 for lighting. The property produces 2.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
