About This E-Rated Property
This detached house is located in ILFRACOMBE, EX34 8LY. The property offers 147.96m² (1593 sq ft) of spacious living space. The property has an EPC rating of E (41/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency. Oil boilers are more expensive to run than gas and have higher carbon emissions. Consider switching to a heat pump (eligible for £7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term savings. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £1557, comprising £976 for heating, £451 for hot water, and £130 for lighting. The property produces 5.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. The property last sold in June 2021 for £373,000.
