About This Property

This detached house is located in CANTERBURY, CT3 2NA. The property offers 292m² (3143 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a modern property built in the 2000s. The property holds an EPC rating of C (70/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (83/100). The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency. Oil boilers are more expensive to run than gas and have higher carbon emissions. Consider switching to a heat pump (eligible for £7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term savings. The cavity walls have excellent insulation, contributing significantly to the property's thermal efficiency and helping maintain stable indoor temperatures year-round. The loft insulation is rated very good, meeting or exceeding the recommended 270mm depth for optimal thermal performance. Triple-glazed windows provide excellent insulation, reducing heat loss by up to 40% compared to single glazing and offering superior noise reduction of up to 35dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £1506, comprising £1166 for heating, £188 for hot water, and £152 for lighting. The property produces 5.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
