About This Property
This detached house is located in ASHBY-DE-LA-ZOUCH, LE65 1RJ. The property offers 190m² (2045 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (65/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a A rating (94/100). The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency. Oil boilers are more expensive to run than gas and have higher carbon emissions. Consider switching to a heat pump (eligible for £7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term savings. The property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £2736, comprising £2349 for heating, £240 for hot water, and £147 for lighting.
