About This Property
This semi-detached house is located in BEDFORD, MK43 0AX. The property offers 106m² (1141 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. With an EPC rating of D (55/100), 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.

Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £1352, comprising £1084 for heating, £201 for hot water, and £67 for lighting. The property produces 5.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
