About This Property
This detached house is located in DEREHAM, NR20 3LA. The property offers 235m² (2530 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 12 habitable rooms. It is a 1990s-era home. With an EPC rating of D (63/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (77/100). 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 property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. 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 £2040, comprising £1640 for heating, £195 for hot water, and £205 for lighting. The property produces 1.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home.
