With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (58/100). The solid walls lack 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 £6787, comprising £5289 for heating, £1292 for hot water, and £206 for lighting. The property produces 9.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
