About This Property

This detached house is located in CIRENCESTER, GL7 5NL. The property offers 110m² (1184 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a modern property built in the 2000s. The property holds an EPC rating of C (74/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (83/100). This property benefits from a air source heat pump system, which can deliver 3-4 units of heat for every unit of electricity used. Heat pumps are eligible for the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, making them increasingly popular for UK homes seeking to reduce carbon emissions. The walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. 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 £1341, comprising £818 for heating, £455 for hot water, and £68 for lighting. The property produces 0.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home.
