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.

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.
