This detached house is located in MILTON KEYNES, MK17 8NN. The property offers 641.42mยฒ (6904 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 14 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property has an EPC rating of E (40/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs ยฃ8,000-ยฃ14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. 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 ยฃ400-ยฃ600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are ยฃ5656, comprising ยฃ4802 for heating, ยฃ248 for hot water, and ยฃ606 for lighting. The property produces 36.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
