About This Property

This terraced flat is located in ASHFORD, TN23 5RL. The property offers 54.54m² (587 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a 1990s-era home. With an EPC rating of D (56/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs.

The walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings.
