About This Property

This detached house is located in GREAT OUSEBURN, YO26 9RG. The property offers 352m² (3789 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 10 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. With an EPC rating of D (65/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (81/100). This property benefits from a ground source heat pump system, which can deliver 3-4 units of heat for every unit of electricity used. Heat pumps are eligible for the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, making them increasingly popular for UK homes seeking to reduce carbon emissions. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. The loft insulation is rated very good, meeting or exceeding the recommended 270mm depth for optimal thermal performance. 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 £3324, comprising £2864 for heating, £305 for hot water, and £155 for lighting. The property produces 9.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
