About This Property
This terraced house is located in DERBY, DE22 1JU. The property offers 112m² (1206 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a modern property built in the 2000s.

The property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £2786, comprising £2335 for heating, £307 for hot water, and £144 for lighting. The property produces 3.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
