What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A+++, which is the highest possible rating. This meant the home was extremely energy-efficient, so heating and electricity costs would be very low. The building is from 1899, but the label suggests it has been thoroughly modernised with excellent insulation and efficient systems.
