About This Property
This detached house is located in IPSWICH, IP6 9UA. The property offers 256m² (2756 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 9 habitable rooms. It is a modern property built in the 2000s. With an EPC rating of B (85/100), this property is highly energy efficient, placing it in the top tier of UK homes. This property benefits from a ground source heat pump system, which can deliver 3-4 units of heat for every unit of electricity used.

Estimated annual energy costs are £2127, comprising £1636 for heating, £389 for hot water, and £102 for lighting. The property produces 0.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home.
