About This Property
This terraced flat is located in TORQUAY, TQ1 4TH. The property offers 21m² (226 sq ft) of compact living space with 1 habitable room. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of D (61/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (73/100). The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. The flat roof has poor insulation.

Estimated annual energy costs are £451, comprising £351 for heating, £63 for hot water, and £37 for lighting. The property produces 1.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home.
