About This Property

This detached flat is located in BOLTON, BL3 6HG. The property offers 66.2mยฒ (713 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property holds an EPC rating of C (71/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency.

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 ยฃ476, comprising ยฃ344 for heating, ยฃ81 for hot water, and ยฃ51 for lighting. The property produces 2.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
