About This Property
This detached house is located in BASINGSTOKE, RG25 2RJ. The property offers 195m² (2099 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 8 habitable rooms. It is a modern property built in the 2000s. With an EPC rating of D (60/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency. Oil boilers are more expensive to run than gas and have higher carbon emissions. Consider switching to a heat pump (eligible for £7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term savings. The property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. 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 £1490, comprising £1158 for heating, £203 for hot water, and £129 for lighting. The property produces 4.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
