About This Property

This detached bungalow is located in THETFORD, IP24 1BX. The property offers 152m² (1636 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of D (61/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (73/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency.

Estimated annual energy costs are £1503, comprising £1289 for heating, £113 for hot water, and £101 for lighting. The property produces 7.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home. The property last sold in August 2015 for £244,950.
