About This Property
This detached house is located in WARRINGTON, WA4 4JD. The property offers 426m² (4585 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a recently constructed modern home. With an EPC rating of D (65/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (74/100). The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency. Oil boilers are more expensive to run than gas and have higher carbon emissions.

The cavity walls have excellent insulation, contributing significantly to the property's thermal efficiency and helping maintain stable indoor temperatures year-round. 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 £2905, comprising £2600 for heating, £120 for hot water, and £185 for lighting. The property produces 9.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
