The heating system: Underfloor heating
The home is heated throughout by 'Wet' underfloor heating.
Wet underfloor heating is an underfloor heating system that heats a room from the bottom up, through a series of underfloor pipes. The pipes are connected via a central 'manifold' to any heat source such as a boiler (as here - a worcester greenstar 30CDI Mains Gas Fired Boiler), heat pump or solar thermal energy. The water is heated up and circulates throughout the floors.
We at Henton Kirkman are seeing these heating systems more and more now, especially in luxury homes and newly built properties, as they provide radiant, even temperatures throughout the rooms, as the heat is more evenly distributed than radiators and so can be set at a lower temperature; thus, making it a more efficient way to heat the home.
Exterior - front
Set well back from the main road has enabled the property to boast an In/Out Front Drive, newly tarmacked and with a central hedge in the middle with lawn behind.
A side gate opens to a side Drive, which runs up to the Detached Garage.
Huge garage 43ft 5' x 17ft narrowing to 8ft 9' (13.2m x 5.2m > 2.7m)

Exterior - rear garden
The 35ft x 14ft Decking has plenty of room for the largest table and chairs and demands friends and chianti. Perfect for big Summer parties and family gatherings.
The balance is a well-stocked mix of lawn, a Fish Pond with a bridge running over it and various trees and plants giving a surprising amount of seclusion for suck a large Garden.
