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.

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.
