About This Property
This detached house is located in GUILDFORD, GU3 3EB. The property offers 772m² (8310 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 12 habitable rooms. It is a 1990s-era home. With an EPC rating of D (62/100), 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. 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 £6538, comprising £5937 for heating, £249 for hot water, and £352 for lighting. The property produces 23.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
