About This Property
This terraced house is located in ILFRACOMBE, EX34 9NU. The property offers 227m² (2443 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 9 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. 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 (71/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler.

Estimated annual energy costs are £4371, comprising £3789 for heating, £299 for hot water, and £283 for lighting. The property produces 8.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
