In addition, each house has their own air source heat pump, as well as underfloor heating to both the ground and first floors, as well as highly effective and attractive double-glazed windows being fitted throughout. Also, each of these three properties has an exterior electric car charging point, which when all of the above energy efficiency attributes are combined, will apparently result in all of these attractive and spacious cottages style village homes being given an incredible “A” rated energy efficiency certification when completed.
