About This Property

This detached house is located in LINCOLN, LN5 0RA. The property offers 335m² (3606 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 15 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (63/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a A rating (96/100). 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. 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. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £3863, comprising £3490 for heating, £270 for hot water, and £103 for lighting. The property produces 16.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
