The Rectory, High Street

Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in DONCASTER, DN9 2BU. The property offers 375m² (4036 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 12 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (21/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (66/100). The gas central heating system has average efficiency, indicating a boiler that may be 10-15 years old. While functional, upgrading to a modern A-rated condensing boiler could improve efficiency by 15-25%. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. 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 £7192, comprising £6626 for heating, £365 for hot water, and £201 for lighting. The property produces 29.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
