About This Property

This detached bungalow is located in WADEBRIDGE, PL27 7JB. The property offers 88.57m² (953 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. With an EPC rating of D (63/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. 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 pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £1200, comprising £999 for heating, £138 for hot water, and £63 for lighting. The property produces 6.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home. For landlords: This rental property with a D rating is positioned above the current minimum standard. With proposed changes to require a C rating by 2028, modest improvements now could future-proof your compliance.
