About This Property
This terraced house is located in PLYMOUTH, PL4 9EE. The property offers 115m² (1238 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (59/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (80/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. 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 £2649, comprising £2168 for heating, £235 for hot water, and £246 for lighting. The property produces 5.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. The property last sold in February 2024 for £231,000.
