About This Property
This detached bungalow is located in SOUTHAMPTON, SO16 9BL. The property offers 70m² (753 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property holds an EPC rating of C (79/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (82/100). This property benefits from a air source heat pump system, which can deliver 3-4 units of heat for every unit of electricity used. Heat pumps are eligible for the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, making them increasingly popular for UK homes seeking to reduce carbon emissions. The loft insulation is rated very good, meeting or exceeding the recommended 270mm depth for optimal thermal performance.

Estimated annual energy costs are £935, comprising £571 for heating, £280 for hot water, and £84 for lighting. The property produces 0.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home.
