About This Property
This semi-detached bungalow is located in OAKHAM, LE15 8PU. The property offers 39m² (420 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a 1990s-era home. The property holds an EPC rating of C (71/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a A rating (94/100). This property benefits from a air source heat pump system, which can deliver 3-4 units of heat for every unit of electricity used.
