About This Property
This detached house is located in SWANSEA, SA9 1XW. The property offers 114m² (1227 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a recently constructed modern home. The property holds an EPC rating of C (69/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (83/100).

Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £964, comprising £586 for heating, £259 for hot water, and £119 for lighting. The property produces 4.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
