About This Property

This detached house is located in STEVENAGE, SG2 7AH. The property offers 243m² (2616 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 8 habitable rooms. It is a modern property built in the 2000s. With an EPC rating of D (61/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency.

The property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. 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 £1806, comprising £1416 for heating, £200 for hot water, and £190 for lighting. The property produces 5.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
