About This Property
This detached house is located in Nelson, BB9 6LB. The property offers 397m² (4273 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 11 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (68/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (71/100). Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating. While effective, oil prices can be volatile and the system produces higher carbon emissions than gas or heat pumps.

Double glazing is installed, though the efficiency rating suggests older units. Modern low-E double glazing can be up to 40% more efficient than units installed before 2002. Estimated annual energy costs are £4683, comprising £4030 for heating, £321 for hot water, and £332 for lighting. The property produces 12.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
