About This Property
This detached house is located in SHREWSBURY, SY5 0JX. The property offers 256m² (2756 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 11 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. With an EPC rating of D (64/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (78/100). 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 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 £4017, comprising £3487 for heating, £213 for hot water, and £317 for lighting. The property produces 11.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
