About This Property

This terraced house is located in ASHBOURNE, DE6 1EX. The property offers 86m² (926 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (67/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (84/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. 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 pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. Triple-glazed windows provide excellent insulation, reducing heat loss by up to 40% compared to single glazing and offering superior noise reduction of up to 35dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £1263, comprising £1040 for heating, £130 for hot water, and £93 for lighting. The property produces 3.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in March 2025 for £248,500.
