About This Property
This detached house is located in LANCASTER, LA2 9EF. The property offers 333m² (3584 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 10 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. With an EPC rating of D (62/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (72/100). Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating.

Estimated annual energy costs are £5101, comprising £4399 for heating, £402 for hot water, and £300 for lighting. The property produces 14.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
