About This Property

This detached house is located in ASHFORD, TN27 8LE. The property offers 260.76m² (2807 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 10 habitable rooms. It is a 1990s-era home. With an EPC rating of D (61/100), this property is around the UK average 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. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £1752, comprising £1259 for heating, £234 for hot water, and £259 for lighting. The property produces 11.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
