About This Property
This semi-detached house is located in BROMLEY, BR2 0BA. The property offers 232m² (2497 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property holds an EPC rating of C (76/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. The roof space has been converted to living space, with insulation between the rafters. 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 £1620, comprising £1299 for heating, £166 for hot water, and £155 for lighting. The property produces 5.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. The property last sold in November 2022 for £880,000.
