About This Property

This detached house is located in CIRENCESTER, GL7 5PY. The property offers 220m² (2368 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 8 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. With an EPC rating of D (58/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (76/100). 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 walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. 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 £1596, comprising £1335 for heating, £147 for hot water, and £114 for lighting. The property produces 9.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
