    Just wondering if anyone could give me a rough idea of what the utility bills would be for a small 2 bed cottage. There are a few that I will hope to be looking at, so not sure about type of heating in each.

    I'd probably be working from home (laptop on) 3 or 4 days of the week, so would be there all day on those days. Remainder of week I'd be there at evenings only.

    Also I would be the sole occupant of the house. Any sort of rough idea on the figures will be fine, just to get an idea. Thanks in advance.

    I'm living on my own in a 3 bed cottage at the moment and pay about 60-70 euro in ESB every 2 months. That includes running an electric fencer, as well as other 'normal' but high usage appliances such as clothes dryer, kettle, etc., as well as occastionally using a dehumidifier (eats electricity) and an electric fan heater the odd time. It also includes having a light on 24-7, a radio on for about 4-5 hours a day, and a laptop most evenings.

    In fairness nobody can tell you with the info you have provided. No mention of actual size, construction nor heating type. This is a "how long is a piece of string" question
