About This Property
This detached house is located in BUCKINGHAM, MK18 5DX. The property offers 199m² (2142 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a 1990s-era home. With an EPC rating of D (60/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating.

Estimated annual energy costs are £1528, comprising £1154 for heating, £177 for hot water, and £197 for lighting. The property produces 8.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
