About This Property

This detached bungalow is located in DONCASTER, DN8 5TE. The property offers 108m² (1163 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. With an EPC rating of A (130/100), this property is highly energy efficient, placing it in the top tier of UK homes. Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating.
