About This Property
This semi-detached flat is located in BRISTOL, BS6 7QH. The property offers 151.53m² (1631 sq ft) of spacious living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property holds an EPC rating of C (69/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The solid walls lack insulation.

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 £989, comprising £692 for heating, £141 for hot water, and £156 for lighting. The property produces 5.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
