About This Property

This semi-detached bungalow is located in BENFLEET, SS7 5DN. The property offers 122mยฒ (1313 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 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.

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 ยฃ1303, comprising ยฃ1069 for heating, ยฃ105 for hot water, and ยฃ129 for lighting.
