About This Property

This detached house is located in NORWICH, NR13 4HJ. The property offers 107m² (1152 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (60/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency.

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 loft insulation is rated very good, meeting or exceeding the recommended 270mm depth for optimal thermal performance. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £1478, comprising £1091 for heating, £304 for hot water, and £83 for lighting. The property produces 3.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
