About This Property

This semi-detached flat is located in Derby, DE23 8BQ. The property offers 35m² (377 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a recently constructed modern home. With an EPC rating of A (105/100), this property is highly energy efficient, placing it in the top tier of UK homes.

Estimated annual energy costs are £600, comprising £287 for heating, £225 for hot water, and £88 for lighting. The property produces 0.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home.
