About This Property

This semi-detached house is located in BRISTOL, BS6 7BU. The property offers 266m² (2863 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 11 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property holds an EPC rating of C (69/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. 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 £3648, comprising £3161 for heating, £268 for hot water, and £219 for lighting. The property produces 8.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in March 2016 for £740,500.
