About This Property
This detached house is located in WHITLAND, SA34 0DR. The property offers 158m² (1701 sq ft) of spacious living space with 8 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (59/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (91/100). The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency.

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 £1863, comprising £1533 for heating, £231 for hot water, and £99 for lighting. The property produces 0.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home.
