Features and description
- Freehold
This unique two double bedroomed generously extended home, which has undergone major renovations under current ownership offers any prospective buyer a one of a kind eco home & is a must view!
Internally the property comprises on the ground floor from entrance porch, an open plan design offering large living room with bay to the front and dining room. To the rear a large single storey extension houses a modern kitchen fitted with a range of wall and base units and space for modern appliances, utility and downstairs wet room. Upstairs the property further benefits from two double bedrooms with shower room en-suite to master and further three-piece family bathroom with shower over bath.
Outside the property further excels with a ramped driveway to the front providing parking for two cars. To the side a secure log & bike store within a secure gated compound. Power points for caravan, mobility scooter and electric vehicle are located with many outside power outlets throughout the property with the ramped driveway further leading to the converted garage which is now a modern workshop. From the workshop up some stairs at the rear offers a wonderful Japanese style Garden, glass bridge, water features, outdoor kitchen and barbecue area. At the back of the garden is a log cabin fitted with wet room facilities and a beautiful veranda offering views over Loughborough.
Under the current ownership the property has majorly benefitted from changes to enhance the environmental and sustainability of the property. This includes sixteen solar panels to the rear roof which provide up to 4KW energy for the household’s use including a fitted solar boast to diverter which also heats the hot water for the property from the energy sourced from the solar panels. Under a current agreement the current owner also receives under the Good Energy fit payment scheme £600 per annum.
The current owner has also installed a Mishabishi heat exchange ventilation unit currently housed in the attic. Through metal ducting it extracts heated air from the three bathrooms and kitchen to heat the core of the heat exchange unit thus delivering warm air to the living room and bedrooms. It is important to note it is not necessary to open windows in this property offering further security. The double-glazed windows are further insulated by attractive wooden shutters and the roof spaces have had 20cm Welsh wool installed which is biodegradable with cavity walls being filled to current standards.
The property further collects storm water from the roof and stores in an underground 5000 litre tank. This is then pumped to a header tank in the attic which feeds the washing machine, the three WCs and outside tap with the major benefit of this is the saving on water costs with a water meter attached to the property. Althorpe Drive located in Thorpe Acre is surrounded by a host of local amenities some of which include supermarkets, shops, schools for an array of ages, fantastic local transport links and major road links including easy access to junction 23 of the M1.
