About This Property
This detached house is located in OSWESTRY, SY11 4PQ. The property offers 171m² (1841 sq ft) of spacious living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property holds an EPC rating of C (73/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (81/100). 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.

Estimated annual energy costs are £1640, comprising £1333 for heating, £167 for hot water, and £140 for lighting. The property produces 6.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
