About This Property
This terraced flat is located in the EX34 9NR postcode area. The property offers 78m² (840 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property holds an EPC rating of C (71/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings.
