Property description
This immaculately presented spacious architecturally design Eco-friendly detached house is situated in the small hamlet of Pitagowan approximately 500 yards from The House of Bruar. Part of the property was originally an old thackstone croft, which was used as a reading room for the local school, and this is where the name originates. The building has been extended to create a unique home using Swedish timber, hardwood double glazed windows and doors, with sheep’s wool insulation in the walls.
Sheep wool is a natural, sustainable, renewable, theoretically recyclable material and totally biodegradable that does not endanger the health of people or the environment. Wool is a highly effective insulating material that has been used for years insulating people in the form of clothing.
There is also approximately 2 foot thick rock wool in the roof area. The ground floor has under-floor heating throughout, and there is a ground source heat pump which saves on heating costs.
Ground Source Heat Pumps heat your home with energy from the ground. A ground source heat pump circulates a mixture of water and antifreeze around a loop of pipe-called a ground loop- which is buried in the garden. Heat from the ground is absorbed into the fluid and then passes through a heat exchanger into the heat pump. The ground stays at a fairly constant temperature under the surface, so the heat pump can be used throughout the year-even in the middle of winter.
Energy saving is approximately 75%.
Electric radiators in the upper level are there if required but up to now are never used. To heat this house it costs approximately £900 per annum.
There is also a Klargester in the garden which is a bio disc waste system.
The interior is beautifully decorated in a Rennie Mackintosh style throughout. This property has to be viewed to be appreciated. The property has a garage, garden grounds with log store, and garden shed.
