About This Property
This detached house is located in CLACTON-ON-SEA, CO15 3DW. The property offers 113m² (1216 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (55/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency.

Estimated annual energy costs are £1259, comprising £1021 for heating, £136 for hot water, and £102 for lighting. The property produces 5.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
