About This Property

This detached house is located in LINCOLN, LN4 2AJ. The property offers 305m² (3283 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (64/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (88/100). This property benefits from a air source heat pump system, which can deliver 3-4 units of heat for every unit of electricity used.

Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £2984, comprising £2294 for heating, £526 for hot water, and £164 for lighting. The property produces 8.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
