About This Property
This detached house is located in BISHOP'S STORTFORD, CM22 6DY. The property offers 210m² (2260 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. With an EPC rating of D (55/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency.

Estimated annual energy costs are £2026, comprising £1662 for heating, £250 for hot water, and £114 for lighting. The property produces 10.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
