Ivy House, Tholthorpe

Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?

This detached house is located in YORK, YO61 1SN. The property offers 169.8m² (1828 sq ft) of spacious living space with 8 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated G (14/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. 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 property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £2703, comprising £2353 for heating, £231 for hot water, and £119 for lighting. The property produces 15.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
