About This Property
This detached house is located in PETERBOROUGH, PE6 0PQ. The property offers 131m² (1410 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. With an EPC rating of B (84/100), this property is highly energy efficient, placing it in the top tier of UK homes. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a A rating (104/100). 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 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 £1477, comprising £1112 for heating, £298 for hot water, and £67 for lighting. The property produces 4.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
