This detached house is located in BEDALE, DL8 1JL. The property offers 175mยฒ (1884 sq ft) of spacious living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property has an EPC rating of E (45/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (71/100). 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. 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 ยฃ400-ยฃ600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are ยฃ2681, comprising ยฃ2276 for heating, ยฃ289 for hot water, and ยฃ116 for lighting. The property produces 12.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
