    If you read the meter you could calculate it yourself.

    My studio flat cost £30-£35 per month for gas and electricity, including daytime heating during the winter since I worked from home.

    There's no such thing as a one-bedroom studio. It's either a one-bedroom flat or a studio flat. And your use of 'thus' is also incorrect - being a studio has no correlation with presence or not of your listed white goods (if anything, they would be more expected in a studio.)

    As to expected consumption - electricity 2 or 3 kWh per day. Gas (that is, heating,) too variable to guess - anything from 1,000 kWh per year to 8,000 kWh per year.

    Bills between £15 to £45 per month averaged over the whole year.

    Impossible to estsimate without knowing how the flat is heated and hot watered, because these account for the vast majority of domestic energy consumption.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
