About This Property
This detached house is located in GLOUCESTER, GL2 8JH. The property offers 264m² (2842 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 9 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. The property holds an EPC rating of C (70/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. This property benefits from a air 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 walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings.

Estimated annual energy costs are £4644, comprising £3716 for heating, £635 for hot water, and £293 for lighting. The property produces 5.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
