About This Property
This semi-detached house is located in LEYBURN, DL8 3DJ. The property offers 266.52m² (2869 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 8 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (56/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. 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 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. 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 £2182, comprising £1635 for heating, £273 for hot water, and £274 for lighting. The property produces 11.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
