About This E-Rated Property
This detached house is located in SWINDON, SN5 4LJ. The property offers 221.13mยฒ (2380 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 9 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property has an EPC rating of E (53/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements.

Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are ยฃ2401, comprising ยฃ2153 for heating, ยฃ161 for hot water, and ยฃ87 for lighting. The property produces 13.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
