About This Property
This detached house is located in PRESTON, PR3 6HN. The property offers 335m² (3606 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 9 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property holds an EPC rating of C (72/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency.

Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £2521, comprising £2034 for heating, £282 for hot water, and £205 for lighting. The property produces 5.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
