This detached house is located in WHITBY, YO22 5AA. The property offers 194.1m² (2089 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 8 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property has an EPC rating of E (47/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £2057, comprising £1860 for heating, £104 for hot water, and £93 for lighting. The property produces 11.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in March 2018 for £357,000.
