About This Property
This detached house is located in LINCOLN, LN4 3LX. The property offers 156m² (1679 sq ft) of spacious living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of B (82/100), this property is highly energy efficient, placing it in the top tier of UK homes. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a A rating (98/100). The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency. Oil boilers are more expensive to run than gas and have higher carbon emissions. Consider switching to a heat pump (eligible for £7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term savings. The cavity walls have excellent insulation, contributing significantly to the property's thermal efficiency and helping maintain stable indoor temperatures year-round. The roof space has been converted to living space, with insulation between the rafters. Triple-glazed windows provide excellent insulation, reducing heat loss by up to 40% compared to single glazing and offering superior noise reduction of up to 35dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £1579, comprising £1152 for heating, £233 for hot water, and £194 for lighting. The property produces 1.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home.
