About This Property

This terraced house is located in BRIGHTON, BN2 3FF. The property offers 89.88mยฒ (967 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (64/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency.

Estimated annual energy costs are ยฃ863, comprising ยฃ692 for heating, ยฃ110 for hot water, and ยฃ61 for lighting. The property produces 4.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
