About This Property

This semi-detached house is located in GOOLE, DN14 0ES. The property offers 158m² (1701 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property holds an EPC rating of C (76/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a A rating (95/100). 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 cavity walls have excellent insulation, contributing significantly to the property's thermal efficiency and helping maintain stable indoor temperatures year-round. The loft insulation is rated very good, meeting or exceeding the recommended 270mm depth for optimal thermal performance. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £1195, comprising £928 for heating, £176 for hot water, and £91 for lighting. The property produces 2.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in August 2019 for £235,000, with 2 recorded sales in our database.
