About This Property

This detached house is located in BELPER, DE56 2LU. The property offers 326m² (3509 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 9 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property holds an EPC rating of C (78/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a A rating (102/100). This property benefits from a ground source heat pump system, which can deliver 3-4 units of heat for every unit of electricity used. Heat pumps are eligible for the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, making them increasingly popular for UK homes seeking to reduce carbon emissions. 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 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 £3365, comprising £3059 for heating, £149 for hot water, and £157 for lighting. The property produces 6.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
