About This Property

This semi-detached house is located in ASHBOURNE, DE6 2EG. The property offers 91.24m² (982 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (55/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating. While effective, oil prices can be volatile and the system produces higher carbon emissions than gas or heat pumps. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. 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 £940, comprising £733 for heating, £148 for hot water, and £59 for lighting. The property produces 5.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. The property last sold in August 2018 for £163,500.
