PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The Property is of non-standard construction (Laing Easiform, built in the 1950s, non- PRC which does not require certification), yet aspires to be a sustainable eco-home, well insulated and wholly decorated using non-toxic eco-paints and recycled wood for flooring. The bee-friendly garden is designed to attract pollinators, while using all kitchen waste as fertiliser, either as compost or worm-cast.
The property sits in a secluded corner of Sturminster Close, with just one semi-detached neighbour, on one side, and a strip of Council land allowing access to an electricity sub-station on the other, with a small woodland and grassed area, that can never be built on.
Heating and hot water in the property benefit from a a solar thermal panel and choice of gas, electric and a wood-burning stove, offering choice, economy, sustainability and convenience throughout the seasons.
12 x solar PV panels provide electricity and benefit from a Feed-In Tariff of 14.8p/kWh, through the Microtricty scheme.

Broadband availability and predicted speed
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
