This detached bungalow is located in DRIFFIELD, YO25 4BF. The property offers 145m² (1561 sq ft) of spacious living space. The property has an EPC rating of E (44/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (69/100). 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. Estimated annual energy costs are £2375, comprising £2003 for heating, £250 for hot water, and £122 for lighting. The property produces 5.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
