About This Property

This semi-detached house is located in CROYDON, CR0 4JG. The property offers 234m² (2519 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 8 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property holds an EPC rating of C (78/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (86/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £1547, comprising £1288 for heating, £122 for hot water, and £137 for lighting. The property produces 5.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. The property last sold in July 2023 for £890,000.
