About This Property

The property holds an EPC rating of C (71/100), meeting the government's target standard 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.
