About This Property
This detached bungalow is located in CARDIFF, CF14 0SH. The property offers 168.02m² (1809 sq ft) of spacious living space with 8 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of D (55/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. The property benefits from a highly efficient gas central heating system, likely a modern condensing boiler achieving 90%+ efficiency. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. 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 £1570, comprising £1297 for heating, £138 for hot water, and £135 for lighting. The property produces 9.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
