Heron Lodge is a fanstastic modern home occupying an plot in a north Bedfordshire village, within the Sharnbrook catchment area.
It has been recently built to incorporate the latest in energy efficiency, sustainability and low maintenance.
With views over an untouched meadow beside the River Ouse.
Heron Lodge has been recently built by the present owners to a high standard of performance and finish. They inform us that environmentally, it was designed to minimise its carbon footprint, with sustainably sourced building materials used throughout. The insulation levels combined with the use of a high performance aluminium window system mean that the property has an energy efficiency rating of 'B', combined with low heating / running costs. There is electric underfloor heating, with each room remotely controlled. The lighting is entirely energy efficient, including LED uplighters, spotlights, recessed ceiling lights and wall lights. The house has also been future proofed by providing internet cabling to the principal rooms, anticipating the arrival of high speed broadband (c2015). Heron Lodge also generates a proportion of its own electrical power through discrete photovoltaic cells incorporated in the slate roof. The exterior includes maintenance free gables, while the walls are finished with a high-tec polymer coating which is self coloured, thus not requiring re-painting. The high performance windows and doors are in powder coated aluminium which is maintenance free, also providing comfort and security. The property is fully compliant with all current building and safety regulations: electrical switches and sockets are at waist height and doors are above average width. The vendors also inform us that the property also has the benefit of a full 10 year building warranty.
