About This Property
This detached house is located in DEREHAM, NR20 4AP. The property offers 128m² (1378 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a recently constructed modern home. The property holds an EPC rating of C (74/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (90/100). This property benefits from a air source heat pump system, which can deliver 3-4 units of heat for every unit of electricity used.
