This detached house is located in EALING, W5 2PX. The property offers 413m² (4446 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 11 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property has an EPC rating of E (39/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (78/100). 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. 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 £6943, comprising £6362 for heating, £308 for hot water, and £273 for lighting. The property produces 23.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
