About This Property
This semi-detached house is located in WITHAM, CM8 3EE. The property offers 91m² (980 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of B (82/100), this property is highly energy efficient, placing it in the top tier of UK homes. This property benefits from a air source heat pump system, which can deliver 3-4 units of heat for every unit of electricity used.

Estimated annual energy costs are £1501, comprising £1035 for heating, £410 for hot water, and £56 for lighting. The property produces 0.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home.
