About This Property

This detached house is located in LINCOLN, LN4 2DJ. The property offers 138m² (1485 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a modern property built in the 2000s. The property holds an EPC rating of C (72/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating. While effective, oil prices can be volatile and the system produces higher carbon emissions than gas or heat pumps. The walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. The loft insulation is rated very good, meeting or exceeding the recommended 270mm depth for optimal thermal performance. 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 £1284, comprising £903 for heating, £300 for hot water, and £81 for lighting. The property produces 4.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. The property last sold in April 2017 for £295,000.
