About This Property

This terraced flat is located in CHORLEY, PR7 7AT. The property offers 61m² (657 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a 1990s-era home. The property holds an EPC rating of C (71/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency.

The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings.

Estimated annual energy costs are £685, comprising £403 for heating, £167 for hot water, and £115 for lighting. The property produces 3.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
