Understanding Passivhaus

Passivhaus is a rigorous international standard focused on energy efficiency, and there are only a small but growing number of certified homes in the UK. A Passivhaus typically uses around 10% of the energy consumed by a conventional property, achieved through exceptional airtightness (this home is ten times more airtight than building regulations require), triple glazing, high-density insulation, 28 solar panels, and an MVHR system that circulates fresh filtered air throughout the home whilst recovering heat. The property also meets Saint-Gobain Multi Comfort standards, ensuring superior thermal comfort, acoustic performance, natural light, and air quality. The result is a home that remains a comfortable temperature year-round, with minimal environmental impact and remarkably low running costs. The current EPC rating shows no recommendations for improvement.

Ground Floor

The striking golden oak staircase greets you upon entry, setting the tone for the quality and attention to detail found throughout. The ground floor has been designed with an open, flowing layout that maximises the sense of space and natural light.

The sitting room is a comfortable and peaceful space, perfect for relaxation away from the main living areas. Across the hall, a home office provides a dedicated workspace with excellent proportions, ideal for focused work in a quiet environment.

The impressive kitchen/dining/family room is the heart of the home, offering a truly sociable space for cooking, dining, entertaining, and relaxing. Fitted with low-decibel appliances to suit the open-plan layout, this room benefits from coated glazing at the rear to control heat gain, whilst large sliding doors create seamless indoor-outdoor flow to the south-facing garden. Underfloor heating ensures comfort throughout, whilst large windows provide natural ventilation when desired.

A separate utility room provides practical space for appliances and storage, while an additional storage room adds further convenience, leading to a ground floor WC.

First Floor

The first floor comprises four bedrooms, all benefitting from exceptional natural light and acoustic insulation. The principal bedroom is a generous double served by a a large en-suite four-piece bathroom and fitted with built-in wardrobes for ample storage.

Bedrooms two, three, and four are all well-proportioned doubles, each with their own en-suite shower rooms, meaning every bedroom has its own private bathroom facilities. A plant room/airing cupboard houses the MVHR system that ensures fresh, filtered air circulates throughout the home, removing pollen and particulates whilst maintaining warmth.

Outbuildings

The property includes two outbuildings, both with power and water supply, offering exceptional versatility. The first comprises a workshop and gym, whilst the second provides additional storage or workspace. These buildings significantly enhance the property's flexibility, ideal for hobbies, home business use, or fitness.

Outdoor Living

The south-facing garden is a particular highlight, offering a substantial lawn and patio area that are perfect for outdoor dining and family activities. The plot benefits from sunshine throughout the day and provides a peaceful, private setting. A gravel driveway at the front provides off-street parking for multiple vehicles whilst allowing natural drainage.
