About This Property

This detached house is located in WEST BERGHOLT, CO6 3DP. The property offers 369m² (3972 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 11 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (67/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (78/100). 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 loft insulation is rated very good, meeting or exceeding the recommended 270mm depth for optimal thermal performance. 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 £3070, comprising £2510 for heating, £317 for hot water, and £243 for lighting. The property produces 8.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
