About This Property
This detached house is located in ARDLEIGH, CO7 7SE. The property offers 235m² (2530 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 8 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. With an EPC rating of D (62/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (70/100). 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.

Modern low-E double glazing can be up to 40% more efficient than units installed before 2002. Estimated annual energy costs are £1606, comprising £1319 for heating, £149 for hot water, and £138 for lighting. The property produces 9.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
