About This Property
This detached house is located in LANCASTER, LA2 0JG. The property offers 120m² (1292 sq ft) of spacious living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (55/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (78/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler.

Estimated annual energy costs are £3525, comprising £3145 for heating, £212 for hot water, and £168 for lighting. The property produces 7.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
