Hall Cottage, South Green

Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in DEREHAM, NR20 3JZ. The property offers 180.2m² (1940 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (32/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (50/100). 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. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. The flat roof has poor insulation. Flat roof insulation is more complex but essential for preventing heat loss and condensation issues, typically costing £1,000-£3,000 depending on access and method. 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 £1951, comprising £1541 for heating, £293 for hot water, and £117 for lighting. The property produces 13.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
