About This Property
This detached house is located in MIDDLEHAM, DL8 4QY. The property offers 130m² (1399 sq ft) of spacious living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a recently constructed modern home. The property holds an EPC rating of C (72/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a A rating (97/100). 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. 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 £1373, comprising £988 for heating, £201 for hot water, and £184 for lighting. The property produces 4.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
