About This Property

This detached house is located in NEWMARKET, CB8 7PZ. The property offers 243m² (2616 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 12 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property holds an EPC rating of C (78/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (84/100). This property benefits from a air source heat pump system, which can deliver 3-4 units of heat for every unit of electricity used. Heat pumps are eligible for the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, making them increasingly popular for UK homes seeking to reduce carbon emissions. 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. Double glazing is installed, though the efficiency rating suggests older units. Modern low-E double glazing can be up to 40% more efficient than units installed before 2002. Estimated annual energy costs are £2668, comprising £2142 for heating, £401 for hot water, and £125 for lighting. The property produces 1.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home.
