About This Property

This semi-detached house is located in MORPETH, NE65 8QX. The property offers 173m² (1862 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a modern property built in the 2000s. With an EPC rating of D (68/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (76/100).

Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £1584, comprising £1260 for heating, £194 for hot water, and £130 for lighting. The property produces 4.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
