House For Sale £450,000
Does a touch of the Good Life appeal to you?
This ultra efficient, sustainable house must be viewed!
A detached home built to the current owner’s high specification in 2006, tucked away in this quiet yet accessible town location.
This 'eco property' has a wealth of features. In an era where the Greenhouse Effect and global warming has become rampant, and the cost of living is out of control, it’s time for us to smell the coffee – especially in the design and construction world. This house has the answers. This home isn't just environmentally friendly but has much lower running costs too – in fact it is almost cost neutral!
The 4kw PV cells are situated on a SW facing roof and are benefitting from an attractive FiT (Feed in Tariff), as well as having energy stored in a battery pack. The vendors have recently replaced the gas fired boiler with an air source heat pump which benefits from running off of the PV system. There is a mechanical ventilation/heat recovery system which is very efficient at keeping the heat in, whilst regularly renewing the air within the property. There is underfloor heating on both floors and individual thermostats in every room.
There is also a 10,000-litre underground tank to harvest the rainwater. This feeds the washing machine and the toilets.
Upon entering the house, I particularly liked the open plan dining/kitchen/hall/family space! Perfect for modern day living. There is a huge picture window to the front of the room, a lovely place to sit and a well-equipped kitchen with space for all your appliances and an integrated double oven and hob. This leads to a sizeable utility, with ample space and perfect for wet dogs, boots and coats! What I thought was a WC turned out to be a fully operational wet room.
The sitting room is quiet and flooded with light from the patio doors and windows on both front and rear aspects. A turning staircase with high vaulted ceiling leads to the first floor; a landing flanked with windows and an ideal spot for a desk.
Each of the four bedrooms feature tall vaulted ceilings, some with Velux giving these rooms height and character. The master really impressed me, spanning the full width of the property, with built in cupboard and en-suite. The family bathroom is a generous size with high ceiling and all mod-cons.
There is plenty of space in the garage, which also houses the immersion cylinder and battery pack for the PV cells.
Outside reminds me of a cottage garden with walled areas, neat boundaries and an abundance of planting and pots. The front garden is quite private with its greenhouse. The rear a lovely place to sit with its raised beds and views over the neighbouring allotments.
I was most impressed with 3 Lewis Avenue and what captivated me most was the peace and tranquillity you feel inside the property. The features within these four walls are second to none and the current owners have left space and options to further improve the property's green credentials if required.
