About This Property
This detached house is located in SANDTOFT, DN8 5TH. The property offers 175m² (1884 sq ft) of spacious living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a modern property built in the 2000s. The property holds an EPC rating of C (70/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating. While effective, oil prices can be volatile and the system produces higher carbon emissions than gas or heat pumps. The walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy 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 £999, comprising £702 for heating, £187 for hot water, and £110 for lighting. The property produces 6.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home. The property last sold in March 2024 for £340,000, with 3 recorded sales in our database.
