About This Property

This terraced bungalow is located in TROWBRIDGE, BA14 7NN. The property offers 64.8m² (698 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of D (60/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency.

A heat pump could reduce electricity use by 60-70%. 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 £636, comprising £441 for heating, £147 for hot water, and £48 for lighting. The property produces 4.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. For landlords: This rental property with a D rating is positioned above the current minimum standard. With proposed changes to require a C rating by 2028, modest improvements now could future-proof your compliance.
