About This Property
This detached house is located in ASHFORD, TN27 8NN. The property offers 178m² (1916 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property holds an EPC rating of C (71/100), meeting the government's target standard 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 loft insulation is rated very good, meeting or exceeding the recommended 270mm depth for optimal thermal performance. 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 £1521, comprising £1190 for heating, £251 for hot water, and £80 for lighting. The property produces 4.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
