About This Property
This detached maisonette is located in EXMOUTH, EX8 1PX. The property offers 57.59m² (620 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property holds an EPC rating of C (70/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. The property benefits from a highly efficient gas central heating system, likely a modern condensing boiler achieving 90%+ efficiency. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. 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 £688, comprising £521 for heating, £99 for hot water, and £68 for lighting. The property produces 3.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in June 2021 for £160,000, with 2 recorded sales in our database.
