About This Property
This maisonette is located in FOLKESTONE, CT19 2BD. The property offers 140m² (1507 sq ft) of spacious living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of D (63/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (75/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency.

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 £1935, comprising £1670 for heating, £189 for hot water, and £76 for lighting. The property produces 5.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
