Description

This property has a spectacular south facing private garden with tiled terrace seating, complete with radiant heaters. With exterior insulation, to reduce thermal transmission, a rain screen cladding system, plus, interior insulation and triple glazed tilt/turn windows and doors. The air tight building envelope and the Heat Recovery Ventilation system ensures all season comfort. In-floor hot water heating and a self-contained double sided gas fireplace ensure that the house is toasty warm in the winter months. Operable skylights, with rain sensors, capture daylight and provide a chimney effect to promote cooling during the summer months. The green roof, over living area, provides additional insulation and prevents damage to the roof. In addition to the house a small office and studio has been created from an accessory structure.
