Detached 4-storey replacement dwelling!
Self-build, high-tech & environmentally friendly.
This was a replacement dwelling for a 1950's Bungalow. It has 6 bedrooms, 4 floors (including a basement) a Granny Annex, and a detached 3-bay "Barn Style" garage.
As the house was outside the village development area there, there were some substantial planning issues to over-come resulting in a lot of negotiation with the local planners - something I do on a regular basis. One result of these negotiations was the requirement for flint walls & a slate roof - to match many other buildings in the village.
The building has some unusual features including:
a Ground Source Heat Pump for all heating & domestic hot water in a utility room in the basement with the associated water/plumbing issues.
Rainwater re-cycling,
Oak flooring with Under-floor-heating, an inglenook fireplace, a whole-house ventilation system thus no extractor fans or trickle vents (you can see the 4 ventilation inlet/outlets to the right of the unusual chimney).
