About This Property
This semi-detached house is located in WARMINSTER, BA12 6EE. The property offers 61.9m² (666 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (56/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £714, comprising £577 for heating, £87 for hot water, and £50 for lighting. The property produces 4.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
