Newly built efficient, sustainable and low carbon two-bedroom home with parking and gardens conveniently located in the heart of desirable and vibrant Larkhall, just 1.4 miles’ walk from the centre of Georgian Bath.

Attention to reduction in fuel costs by reducing heat loss has been a significant factor in the design and build of this high-performance home. An eco-friendly low energy loss shell with structural insulated panels provides excellent thermal performance, and airtightness achieves a 25- 40 % energy saving, with estimated yearly energy costs being £390. Underfloor heating in every room, supplied by the A rated Viessman digital boiler, is controlled by smart controls. A whole home Vent-Axia ventilation system has been installed, so that there is continuously circulating fresh filtered air as well as recovery of up to 90% of heat in the ventilated air, saving significant heat energy costs. The boiler is also hydrogen ready, and the house is Air Source Heat Pump ready and could accommodate solar panels to further enhance EPC performance. In addition, all the lights are low energy and there is provision for the installation of electric vehicle charging.

The house is externally faced in a combination of traditional materials including rubble walls and timber cladding. The windows and French doors to the garden are high performance architectural aluminium and timber composite double glazing, with a solid hardwood front entrance door, roof with double roman clay tiles and rooflights flooding the house with natural light.

The front door opens into a hall with downstairs cloakroom and separate utility cupboard ready for a washing machine and dryer. Leading off from the hall is the large 8.5m2 dining room or home office area. Parallel to the hall is the kitchen with shaker style units, Neff hob and cooker, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. The kitchen opens out into a full width living room with French doors leading out to the garden. The whole ground floor is finished in engineered hardwood flooring.

Upstairs, with vaulted ceilings, are two double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a further storage cupboard. The principal bedroom also enjoys an en suite and walk-in wardrobe. Both bathrooms are extensively tiled and fitted with Grohe and Crosswater brassware.

Outside the garden is landscaped with a terrace, lawn and planting beds and one parking space. Cycle storage is considered, and privacy is maintained with a modern timber batten rail fence.

Simple but smart enabled controls and integrated data provision mean this house is designed and equipped for the 21st century. Built by the multi award winning local contractor Wraxall Builders, with over 40 years good standing, the house has a 10-year insurance warranty.
