About This E-Rated Property
This detached house is located in PURTON, SN5 4HU. The property offers 148m² (1593 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property has an EPC rating of E (51/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (79/100). The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency. Oil boilers are more expensive to run than gas and have higher carbon emissions. Consider switching to a heat pump (eligible for £7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term savings. 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 £2844, comprising £2264 for heating, £411 for hot water, and £169 for lighting. The property produces 5.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. The property last sold in February 2025 for £545,000, with 2 recorded sales in our database.
