About This Property

This terraced house is located in NEWQUAY, TR8 5DL. The property offers 103m² (1109 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 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. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (86/100). The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs.

The loft insulation is rated very good, meeting or exceeding the recommended 270mm depth for optimal thermal performance. 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 £1415, comprising £821 for heating, £474 for hot water, and £120 for lighting. The property produces 4.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. The property last sold in February 2025 for £310,000.
