About This Property

This detached house is located in MARLBOROUGH, SN8 3SA. The property offers 197m² (2121 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. The property holds an EPC rating of C (72/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (85/100). 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 good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £1375, comprising £1128 for heating, £134 for hot water, and £113 for lighting. The property produces 6.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
