About This Property

It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. With an EPC rating of D (57/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (76/100). The gas central heating system has average efficiency, indicating a boiler that may be 10-15 years old.

The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £789, comprising £562 for heating, £166 for hot water, and £61 for lighting. The property produces 4.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
