About This Property

This detached house is located in Lancashire, FY4 5HU. The property offers 456m² (4908 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. 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 (83/100). 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 roof space has been converted to living space, with insulation between the rafters. 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 £5270, comprising £4831 for heating, £186 for hot water, and £253 for lighting. The property produces 5.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.

How Does Runnell Nurseries Compare?
