About This Property
This detached bungalow is located in THAME, OX9 2LS. The property offers 103m² (1109 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of D (65/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (81/100).

Estimated annual energy costs are £1064, comprising £750 for heating, £197 for hot water, and £117 for lighting. The property produces 4.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
