About This Property
This terraced house is located in TORQUAY, TQ1 1QQ. The property offers 148m² (1593 sq ft) of spacious living space with 8 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. With an EPC rating of B (83/100), this property is highly energy efficient, placing it in the top tier of UK homes. The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. 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 £1348, comprising £1069 for heating, £154 for hot water, and £125 for lighting. The property produces 2.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in March 2015 for £140,000.
