About This Property
This detached house is located in PETERBOROUGH, PE7 2HN. The property offers 284m² (3057 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 9 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of D (56/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. 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. 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 £2568, comprising £2142 for heating, £239 for hot water, and £187 for lighting. The property produces 6.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home. The property last sold in March 2022 for £596,000.
