About This Property
This terraced house is located in GUILDFORD, GU1 4DW. The property offers 147m² (1582 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (68/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (77/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation.
