About This Property

This terraced house is located in BRADFORD, BD13 3SP. The property offers 143m² (1539 sq ft) of spacious living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (61/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (91/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler.

Estimated annual energy costs are £1508, comprising £1280 for heating, £94 for hot water, and £134 for lighting. The property produces 7.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
