A substantial but very energy efficient detached 4 bedroom family home with a double garage and an extensive professionally landscaped garden backing onto parkland.\r
\r
This beautifully maintained light, airy 4 bedroom detached house of more individual design standing in large, professionally landscaped gardens and offering well laid out accommodation that has been updated and improved in recent years with great care taken to significantly improve the thermal efficiency of the property while aiming to reduce the carbon footprint.\r
\r
This is one of a small number of similarly designed family houses that were built in the mid 1970's by a local building firm and in almost every case the houses here have large gardens creating a real feeling of space but this garden is exceptional and one of the largest of all. \r

In recent years the property has been updated and improved by the owner who has taken great care to increase the energy efficiency of the property and so reduce running costs. Owned outright photovoltaic solar panels have been installed together with a high efficiency boiler. In addition, there is cavity wall insulation, additional loft insulation and uPVC double glazing which combine to produce an extraordinarily good energy efficiency rating of B-83. The solar panels yield free electricity and an index linked tax free feed in tariff income to the householder currently amounting to approximately £2,000 per annum. \r
