About This Property
This detached house is located in STEVENAGE, SG2 7AT. The property offers 236m² (2540 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 8 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property holds an EPC rating of C (69/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency. Oil boilers are more expensive to run than gas and have higher carbon emissions.

The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Estimated annual energy costs are £2223, comprising £1813 for heating, £300 for hot water, and £110 for lighting. The property produces 7.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
