This terraced flat is located in ENFIELD, EN3 4QJ. The property offers 49.35m² (531 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property has an EPC rating of E (44/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (79/100). The gas central heating system has average efficiency, indicating a boiler that may be 10-15 years old. While functional, upgrading to a modern A-rated condensing boiler could improve efficiency by 15-25%. 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 £835, comprising £319 for heating, £482 for hot water, and £34 for lighting. The property produces 3.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
