About This Property

This detached house is located in IPSWICH, IP6 8NF. The property offers 93.79m² (1010 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (62/100), this property is around the UK average 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 modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. The roof space has been converted to living space, with insulation between the rafters. Double glazing is installed, though the efficiency rating suggests older units. Modern low-E double glazing can be up to 40% more efficient than units installed before 2002. Estimated annual energy costs are £1336, comprising £1068 for heating, £141 for hot water, and £127 for lighting. The property produces 7.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
