About This Property
This detached flat is located in SHALFORD, GU4 8JU. The property offers 45m² (484 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a modern property built in the 2000s. The property holds an EPC rating of C (73/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency.

The property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £503, comprising £272 for heating, £176 for hot water, and £55 for lighting. The property produces 1.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home.
