About This Property
This terraced house is located in BISHOP AUCKLAND, DL14 8UT. The property offers 82m² (883 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. With an EPC rating of D (59/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (69/100). 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 loft insulation is rated very good, meeting or exceeding the recommended 270mm depth for optimal thermal performance. 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 £2385, comprising £1467 for heating, £837 for hot water, and £81 for lighting. The property produces 1.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home. The property last sold in June 2025 for £39,995, with 4 recorded sales in our database. For landlords: This rental property with a D rating is positioned above the current minimum standard. With proposed changes to require a C rating by 2028, modest improvements now could future-proof your compliance.
