About This Property

This detached house is located in BRISTOL, BS16 7EX. The property offers 201m² (2164 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a 1990s-era home. With an EPC rating of D (55/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. The gas boiler has a poor efficiency rating, suggesting it may be over 15 years old. Older non-condensing boilers typically achieve only 60-70% efficiency compared to modern condensing boilers at 90%+. Replacing an old boiler could reduce gas bills by 20-30% and costs around £2,500-£4,500 installed. The walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £3742, comprising £3359 for heating, £187 for hot water, and £196 for lighting. The property produces 7.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home. The property last sold in March 2025 for £725,000.
