About This Property
This detached house is located in BABRAHAM, CB22 3AX. The property offers 263m² (2831 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 13 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. With an EPC rating of D (56/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (82/100). 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 solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £1964, comprising £1626 for heating, £159 for hot water, and £179 for lighting. The property produces 10.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
