It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. With an EPC rating of D (55/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (77/100). The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs.

The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. 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 £793, comprising £519 for heating, £238 for hot water, and £36 for lighting. The property produces 4.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. The property last sold in October 2019 for £87,500. 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.
