This detached bungalow is located in BRIGHOUSE, HD6 2HN. The property offers 124mยฒ (1335 sq ft) of spacious living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property has an EPC rating of E (49/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (69/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation.

Estimated annual energy costs are ยฃ1676, comprising ยฃ1424 for heating, ยฃ122 for hot water, and ยฃ130 for lighting. The property produces 7.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
