About This Property
This detached house is located in CANTERBURY, CT3 2NP. The property offers 239m² (2573 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. The property holds an EPC rating of C (75/100), 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. Consider switching to a heat pump (eligible for £7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term savings. The property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. 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 £2810, comprising £2213 for heating, £228 for hot water, and £369 for lighting. The property produces 1.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home.
