About This Property
This detached flat is located in CHELMSFORD, CM2 6JG. The property offers 49m² (527 sq ft) of compact living space. With an EPC rating of B (88/100), this property is highly energy efficient, placing it in the top tier of UK homes. Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating. While effective, oil prices can be volatile and the system produces higher carbon emissions than gas or heat pumps. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £234, comprising £9 for heating, £176 for hot water, and £49 for lighting. The property produces 2.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
