About This Property
This terraced house is located in ASHBOURNE, DE6 1EX. The property offers 94m² (1012 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (57/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (89/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands.

Estimated annual energy costs are £1138, comprising £932 for heating, £105 for hot water, and £101 for lighting. The property produces 4.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
