The property was built with thermal performance and responsible energy use in mind. Ground-source heating supplies hot water and individually zoned underfloor heating, supported by solar panels on the south-facing roof. A 6,000-litre rainwater-harvesting system supplies the toilets and garden irrigation, while a private bio-digester manages wastewater. Together, these systems provide a mindful and money-saving approach to comfort, efficiency and the day-to-day running of a home of this size.
