About This Property

This detached bungalow is located in ASHBOURNE, DE6 4PP. The property offers 245m² (2637 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. 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 B rating (82/100). 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. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £3046, comprising £2641 for heating, £293 for hot water, and £112 for lighting. The property produces 12.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
