About This Property

This terraced flat is located in ASHFORD, TN23 1RA. The property offers 46m² (495 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. The property holds an EPC rating of C (70/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs. While having low installation costs, running costs are typically higher than gas central heating.

Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £574, comprising £348 for heating, £154 for hot water, and £72 for lighting. The property produces 2.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
