Overgate Croft Barn, Cocking Lane

Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?

This detached house is located in ILKLEY, LS29 0QG. The property offers 334m² (3595 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated G (3/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (64/100). The gas central heating system has average efficiency, indicating a boiler that may be 10-15 years old. While functional, upgrading to a modern A-rated condensing boiler could improve efficiency by 15-25%. 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 £9241, comprising £8775 for heating, £237 for hot water, and £229 for lighting. The property produces 41.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
