About This Property
This detached house is located in BOURNEMOUTH, BH4 9LP. The property offers 154m² (1658 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. 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 (72/100). This property benefits from a air source heat pump system, which can deliver 3-4 units of heat for every unit of electricity used.

Estimated annual energy costs are £3549, comprising £3013 for heating, £370 for hot water, and £166 for lighting. The property produces 4.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
