About This Property
This detached house is located in BUCKINGHAM, MK18 3PB. The property offers 1712m² (18428 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 9 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. With an EPC rating of D (64/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency.

The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings.

Estimated annual energy costs are £8255, comprising £7125 for heating, £229 for hot water, and £901 for lighting. The property produces 57.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
