About This Property
This terraced flat is located in PORTSMOUTH, PO1 5LY. The property offers 58.81m² (633 sq ft) of modest-sized living space. It is built during the 1980s construction period. The property holds an EPC rating of C (71/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (83/100). The gas central heating system has average efficiency, indicating a boiler that may be 10-15 years old.
