About This Property
This detached house is located in THIRSK, YO7 4HD. The property offers 144m² (1550 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a 1990s-era home. With an EPC rating of D (60/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (69/100). 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 walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. 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 £1991, comprising £1590 for heating, £325 for hot water, and £76 for lighting. The property produces 7.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
