Would you like to own a stylish eco home close to the stunning north Cornish coast?
We are delighted to offer this exciting opportunity for one fortunate client to purchase this recently constructed, distinctive and individually designed 4 bedroom eco house, located within a delightful semi rural position, set amidst rolling fields just a short distance from the popular villages of St Agnes and Porthtowan.
This beautifully appointed contemporary family home has been extremely well designed offering a bright and spacious layout that exploits the south facing aspect and harnesses the sun.
Hillcrest has many eco friendly specifications as it has cleverly blended traditional building methods with super efficient building materials and techniques. The property is fitted with thermal solar for hot water and an external 4 kilowatt solar panel system that is located in the garden. The electricity that the solar panels generate provides an income of circa £1700 per year (index linked and set at the original tariff). The Eco Teck pellet boiler stove also assists in heating the hot water and sole heating source. All of the windows and external doors are Argon filled and double glazed with powdered aluminium coated wood frames. Every room is fitted with a Villavent air heat recovery and ventilation system. The extensive insulation and airtight construction include Warmcel paper and low conductive carbon fibre wall ties.
The ground floor is practically designed with exposed natural wood features and includes a well-equipped utility room, wet room and study that are all accessed from the entrance hall. The kitchen diner is the heart of this family home with an open plan modern design kitchen with a central island and plenty of space to entertain. The large living room with the Eco Teck boiler stove leads in to the glazed sun room that is flooded with natural light.
The first floor boasts a spacious master suite with walk-in wardrobe and en-suite shower room. There are 3 further double bedrooms and the upstairs bathroom. The landing also features a large walk-in airing cupboard and seating area with windows looking out over the country landscape.
This property is set back from the road at the end of a short driveway with parking for multiple vehicles. The plot is approximately ¾ of an acre in total and maximizes this delightful south facing position. The gardens boast a wild flower meadow with small orchard, plenty of lawn space for children to play, duck pond, extensive patio and seating area with summer house, green house and sun veranda. Attached to the property is a large workshop/garage with useful office and storage space above.
This exclusive property offers the unique opportunity to purchase an extremely energy efficient family home in a desirable location with a low carbon footprint that even generates it’s own income.
