At a Glance
This semi-detached house is located in BEDALE, DL8 1FA. The property offers 68m² (732 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a recently constructed modern home. With an EPC rating of D (61/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (70/100). 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. The cavity walls have excellent insulation, contributing significantly to the property's thermal efficiency and helping maintain stable indoor temperatures year-round. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £1741, comprising £1104 for heating, £558 for hot water, and £79 for lighting. The property produces 3.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in February 2021 for £162,500, with 3 recorded sales in our database.
