About This Property
This semi-detached house is located in CHIPPING NORTON, OX7 5HH. The property offers 123m² (1324 sq ft) of spacious living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (56/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a A rating (96/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler.

Estimated annual energy costs are £1445, comprising £1274 for heating, £96 for hot water, and £75 for lighting. The property produces 7.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
