About This Property
This detached house is located in FOLKESTONE, CT18 8LP. The property offers 235m² (2530 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 9 habitable rooms. It is a recently constructed modern home. The property holds an EPC rating of C (69/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. 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. The walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £1423, comprising £1031 for heating, £184 for hot water, and £208 for lighting. The property produces 7.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
