About This Property

This detached house is located in DRIFFIELD, YO25 8HS. The property offers 380m² (4090 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 12 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (56/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a A rating (105/100). The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency. Oil boilers are more expensive to run than gas and have higher carbon emissions. Consider switching to a heat pump (eligible for £7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term savings. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. Double glazing is installed, though the efficiency rating suggests older units. Modern low-E double glazing can be up to 40% more efficient than units installed before 2002. Estimated annual energy costs are £6933, comprising £6330 for heating, £368 for hot water, and £235 for lighting. The property produces 21.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
