About This Property

This terraced house is located in PRINCES RISBOROUGH, HP27 9NU. The property offers 51m² (549 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (56/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a A rating (111/100). The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency. Oil boilers are more expensive to run than gas and have higher carbon emissions. Consider switching to a heat pump (eligible for £7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term savings. The cavity walls have excellent insulation, contributing significantly to the property's thermal efficiency and helping maintain stable indoor temperatures year-round. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £746, comprising £427 for heating, £282 for hot water, and £37 for lighting. The property produces 2.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in August 2020 for £350,000, with 2 recorded sales in our database.
