About This Property
This terraced flat is located in FERRYHILL, DL17 9NB. The property offers 32.1m² (346 sq ft) of compact living space with 1 habitable room. It is built during the 1980s construction period. The property holds an EPC rating of C (79/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. Underfloor heating provides even heat distribution and works particularly well with heat pumps due to the lower water temperatures required. 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 £232, comprising £121 for heating, £87 for hot water, and £24 for lighting. The property produces 1.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home.
