About This Property
This detached house is located in TATHAM, LA2 8PL. The property offers 414m² (4456 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 12 habitable rooms. It is a 1990s-era home. With an EPC rating of D (68/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (77/100). 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 loft insulation is rated very good, meeting or exceeding the recommended 270mm depth for optimal thermal performance. 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 £2295, comprising £1949 for heating, £164 for hot water, and £182 for lighting. The property produces 14.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
