About This Property
This detached bungalow is located in MELTON MOWBRAY, LE14 2HU. The property offers 26m² (280 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a recently constructed modern home. With an EPC rating of D (62/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (86/100). The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency. Oil boilers are more expensive to run than gas and have higher carbon emissions.

The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £686, comprising £430 for heating, £219 for hot water, and £37 for lighting. The property produces 1.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home.
