About This Property
This semi-detached flat is located in London, SE4 1NZ. The property offers 68m² (732 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. With an EPC rating of D (59/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (76/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler.
