About This Property
This semi-detached house is located in BOURNEMOUTH, BH3 7JW. The property offers 65m² (700 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a 1990s-era home. With an EPC rating of B (88/100), this property is highly energy efficient, placing it in the top tier of UK homes. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a A rating (93/100). This property benefits from a air source heat pump system, which can deliver 3-4 units of heat for every unit of electricity used.

The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings.

Estimated annual energy costs are £968, comprising £518 for heating, £365 for hot water, and £85 for lighting. The property produces 0.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home.
