About This Property
This detached house is located in CAMBRIDGE, CB23 7DG. The property offers 162m² (1744 sq ft) of spacious living space with 8 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property holds an EPC rating of C (69/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (83/100). 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 pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £1327, comprising £939 for heating, £249 for hot water, and £139 for lighting. The property produces 6.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home. The property last sold in March 2016 for £650,000.
