The owners love….
When we first viewed this property we knew it was ideal for us, it is perfectly situated in the historic old town and it had so much potential for all of our plans all these years on and now the works are all completed we are delighted with the end result.
We have undertaken a full renovation to the house with great attention to detail. As a professional designer, we have used quality materials, installed with a high level of detail, resulting in a meticulous design.
Environmentally conscious, we have incorporated many sustainable features throughout which are explained below to create and efficient ecofriendly house.
Upon entering our home you are greeted with a welcoming hallway leading to our lounge. It is a great size and this leads onto our open plan kitchen/diner which we have extended. This is the heart of our home a real wow factor, we have a contemporary well equipped kitchen, open plan with an abundance of natural light flowing through the sky light and also the bi-fold doors which open up to bring the outside in. We have taken great care in our design to ensure a clean finish making this a space for any family to enjoy.
Separate from the kitchen we have a utility area and a downstairs WC.
Leading outside is our private enclosed rear garden – it is tranquil with a wealth of greenery and the sound of birds song. We have a patio area lined with lavender, creeping thyme and ferns leading up to our greenhouse and mature garden. We have a beautiful apple tree which not only provides a shade from the hot summer sun, it produces a bountiful harvest of sweet delicious fruit every year, which can be eaten straight from the tree, or sent to be pressed into apple juice or cider, resulting in excess of 80 bottles a year. We have reserved 3 bottles for the new homeowner to enjoy. It is an absolute delight and something special knowing this comes from our garden.
Leading to the first floor we have three bedrooms of a good size and our family bathroom. We have a feature roll top bath and a shower.
Leading to the second floor you will find a fourth bedroom with a further bathroom, this is our loft conversion. We added a Juliet balcony and bi-fold doors to this bedroom and this is a really unique feature. It is so tranquil to open the bi-folds from your bedroom to enjoy views of tree tops and our beautiful garden. It has to be seen to appreciate, this is unique and truly one of a kind design.
Some of the details of the build include the following:
· Rainwater harvester, captures and re-uses rainwater to supply toilets, washing machine and garden. Benefits from water rebate (from using sustainable water) and generally, greatly reduces water usage. One empty, the system automatically switches to mains water.
· The driveway is of permeable construction, allowing rain water to filtrate through to ground. The pavers are high quality Tobermore Hydropave Tegula Porous Pavers with ef-Stop finish providing durable, vibrant long lasting finish, that will outlast regular driveway pavers.
· As we have progressed through the renovation and each extension, the house has been completely re-wired throughout, including a new Electrical switch board and new Electrical mains board. Most, if not all light fittings are efficient LED
· When we completed the ground floor extension, we installed a new boiler, new copper piping, and new radiators throughout the house. We also installed a Honeywell smart automated heating control system (controlled though a central panel or app). The ground extension has wet underfloor heating and both bathrooms have programmable electric underfloor heating.
· As we renovated each room, we have run a multicore data cable comprising of 2 x Cat6 & 2 x RG6 cables to every room in the house and out to the shed, so the house has the foundations for a wired home network system.
· We will leave the hardwired Ring door bel (you never have to worry about the battery going flat).
· We installed a log/Multifuel fire place, Defra approved.
· Landscape design Patio, with premium porcelain tiles (unlike wood, stone or concrete, it will not rot or be taken over by mould/algae because the surface is nonporous dirt/mould does not stick or stain, and can be easily cleaned with a jetwash. Porous system.
· Completely new tile re-roof when we installed the loft. And we added two additional layers to the loft flat roof:
· 2mm Bitumen layer (to provide more strength and durability to the felt roof) extending its lifespan.
· Solar reflective paint, reduces solar heat gain in summer, and protects roof below greatly increasing lifespan.
· The East facing brick wall, facing incoming weather systems, (from the south west) has been treated with Stormguard, which repels rain, while letting any moisture inside escape. This allows the building to breathe, provides a dry outer brick wall, which is more thermally efficient.
This is an energy efficient house, which retains heat well.
· All of the cavity walls have been insulated.
· All ground flooring has been lifted, and insulated with 50mm rigid installation between joists, then sub floor re-laid, with another layer of 5mm insulation board, before the new bamboo floor was installed.
· Boot room/Utility room was completely stripped, tanked (water proofed), Walls and ceiling, battens added for air circulation, then finished with 50mm insulated plasterboard. Airflow fan added. Floor, insulated with 50mm rigid insulation, 20mm subfloor, then 5mm insulation board, then finished flooring laid.
· When we re-roofed, all insulation was removed, we added additional battens to the joists to increase the thickness of the roof layer, so we could add thicker overall rigid insulation layers. Insulation was also cut to fit in every available space, overlapped and edges taped with foil tape to ensure maximum thermal efficiency. (Increasingly important for keeping the house cool, in hot summer weather) This required considerable time, to cut and fit all precisely.
· Loft blinds (Bifold and Velux) are also thermal.
Our home is situated in the quaint and picturesque old town with a huge array of restaurants, bars, convenience stores and shops offering everything you could need. We are near to the train station with its high speed links to London within 30 minutes as well as in the catchment area to excellent local schools.
The time has come for pastures new and to let someone else enjoy all this unique home has to offer – viewing highly recommended!
Agents opinion – when I first stepped foot into this property I could feel the love the sellers have applied to create the finish you now see. They have meticulously and methodically designed every element to create a wow factor home which is environmentally friendly and efficient. The level of detail is astounding and my favourite feature is the apple tree with its bountiful harvest and the bi-fold doors in the bedroom. It is an absolute pleasure to be welcoming this house to the market and I can’t wait to show you around.
