About This Property
This detached house is located in CHELMSFORD, CM1 6JL. The property offers 96.15m² (1035 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of D (56/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. The property benefits from a highly efficient gas central heating system, likely a modern condensing boiler achieving 90%+ efficiency. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation.

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 £1072, comprising £905 for heating, £90 for hot water, and £77 for lighting. The property produces 5.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
