About This Property
This detached house is located in WALTHAM ABBEY, EN9 2DA. The property offers 184m² (1981 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a modern property built in the 2000s. The property holds an EPC rating of C (69/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (90/100). 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 property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. 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 £1987, comprising £1506 for heating, £262 for hot water, and £219 for lighting. The property produces 5.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
