About This Property
This detached house is located in TAMWORTH, B79 9HS. The property offers 352m² (3789 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 10 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property holds an EPC rating of C (72/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. 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. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings.

Estimated annual energy costs are £2727, comprising £2270 for heating, £296 for hot water, and £161 for lighting. The property produces 9.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
