Stable Flat Bledington Mill, Station Road

Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?

This detached maisonette is located in CHIPPING NORTON, OX7 6UR. The property offers 54m² (581 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated G (19/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a F rating (31/100). Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating. While effective, oil prices can be volatile and the system produces higher carbon emissions than gas or heat pumps. The property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £1488, comprising £1288 for heating, £149 for hot water, and £51 for lighting. The property produces 7.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
