About This Property
This terraced house is located in COVENTRY, CV5 8EX. The property offers 69m² (743 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. With an EPC rating of D (56/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency.

Estimated annual energy costs are £941, comprising £742 for heating, £115 for hot water, and £84 for lighting. The property produces 3.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
