About This Property
This detached house is located in MAIDSTONE, ME17 2ER. The property offers 378m² (4069 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 C rating (77/100). 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 for improved thermal efficiency. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £3596, comprising £3131 for heating, £351 for hot water, and £114 for lighting. The property produces 11.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
