About This Property

This detached house is located in ASHFORD, TN27 8LG. The property offers 213mยฒ (2293 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 8 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property holds an EPC rating of C (78/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (84/100). 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 pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs ยฃ300-ยฃ500 and could save ยฃ150-ยฃ250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are ยฃ1538, comprising ยฃ1193 for heating, ยฃ180 for hot water, and ยฃ165 for lighting. The property produces 5.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
