About This Property
This detached flat is located in SOUTH CROYDON, CR2 9AL. The property offers 25.9m² (279 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property holds an EPC rating of C (69/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation.

Estimated annual energy costs are £394, comprising £297 for heating, £85 for hot water, and £12 for lighting. The property produces 2.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
