Cost of heating a 4-5 bed Victorian house?

[Hellope]

I currently live in a 2 bed Victorian Terrace and looking to move to a larger house now that we have 2 kids (climbing the walls!)

We are looking at Victorian/Edwardian properties with 4/5 beds and while we can afford the asking price I want to make sure we're not underestimating associated costs of a much larger home than we have now.

Does anyone have an idea how much a monthly gas bill is to heat a house like this? I don't like being cold so don't want to scrimp on heating if poss...

Thank you!

We have a 7 bed Victorian house. Well insulated throughout, newish roof, double glazed, efficient boiler etc.
Our Gas and electricity bills are about £150 pcm.

Ours is horrific - but the insulation is pathetic and windows and doors are very old, single glazed and draughty. Planning to remedy this soon but new wooden double glazed windows and doors cost a bomb.

Quality of roof insulation and windows makes a huge difference, so does eg using heavy curtains and closing them early in the winter.

Ask EAs for energy efficiency certificates. They tell you roughly how much heat is lost and how much the property can be improved.

5 bed Victorian house here, double glazed at the back, single at the front, very drafty, bnew boiler £175 for both gas and elec pcm.

You haven't said what part of the country you're in.
There'll be a big difference between the SE of England and the NE of Scotland, for example, in the same size of house.

5 bed Victorian house here, new boiler but still single glazed throughout (some windows draught proofed others not yet), full loft insulation. £130 per month, in SE England.

Thanks v much for all the responses! That's not as bag as I thought though will obv depend on the insulation. We're in the SE

Hi 4 bed Victorian house, SE, mostly double glazed, loft insulated, solid walls, newish boiler, currently 100 per month gas and electric.

We used to live in a 5-bed Edwardian semi. It had mostly original windows and only the loft conversion had insulation. We had a new efficient boiler. When I decided to actually keep the house at a pleasant temperature one winter, we got a bit for 1k for 3 months of keeping it at 20 degrees.

what is the square metre/square footage?

Four beds. Around sixty a month for gas. Keep it about nineteen degrees in winter.

Oh goodness Jojo what an unpleasant surprise...

I don't know the square footage yet as we are just looking at houses, but within the range of 1700-2200

In our little cottage we often have the heating around 22 degrees in the winter...

We have a 6 bed victorian detached (relevant as no one on the other side to keep us warm!) of slightly over 3k feet. All double gkazed sash or french windows. We have just had a new mega flo/boiler and rads in. When it was all replumbed, we were Advised to get two nest thermostats to control ground and basement and first and second floor separately as apparently this keeps costs down so just installing these next week.

The heating engineee has said the nests work out when you are in and out and can adjust heating automatically. I do 3 loads of washing a day and have two tumblw dryers. Am in a lot as have 3 DCs and the oldest is only 5. I wouldn't say DH and I are very ecologically minded so not very good at immediately switching things off. But even with that, looking at our tariff, the heating man thinks we will pay around £210 a month averaged out. I hope this is right. We are quite well insulated though as had a loft conversion and nearly every ceiling down in the whole house so got a lot of new insulation and a new roof

Might be worth looking into insullation and a nest type thermostat as the head builder and electrucian ad well as the heating man were raving about them
