About This Property
This detached house is located in BARNSTAPLE, EX32 7PZ. The property offers 292m² (3143 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 10 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of A (96/100), this property is highly energy efficient, placing it in the top tier of UK homes. 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 loft insulation is rated very good, meeting or exceeding the recommended 270mm depth for optimal thermal performance. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £3333, comprising £2988 for heating, £193 for hot water, and £152 for lighting.
