About This Property
This detached house is located in BRAINTREE, CM77 8BP. The property offers 382m² (4112 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 11 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of A (100/100), this property is highly energy efficient, placing it in the top tier of UK homes.

The loft insulation is rated very good, meeting or exceeding the recommended 270mm depth for optimal thermal performance. Estimated annual energy costs are £6960, comprising £6132 for heating, £566 for hot water, and £262 for lighting.
