About This Property

With an EPC rating of B (90/100), this property is highly energy efficient, placing it in the top tier of UK homes. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a A rating (97/100). This property benefits from a air source heat pump system, which can deliver 3-4 units of heat for every unit of electricity used.
