About This Property

This detached flat is located in IPSWICH, IP3 8NW. The property offers 64m² (689 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. The property holds an EPC rating of C (71/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. The flat roof has poor insulation.

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 £547, comprising £378 for heating, £107 for hot water, and £62 for lighting. The property produces 2.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
