All have French doors (with new safety glass) opening seamlessly onto the handy patio and the green vistas of the rear garden. And what a garden! Full of deciduous trees, it is a wondrous place to admire and wander in autumn. The house itself holds a few secrets. It was architect designed and built in 1991 based on passive solar principles. The walls are full brick – even the internals, so they have great thermal qualities. The living area has been tiled to retain winter warmth. All of which means the wood fire is stunningly efficient, while the ceiling fan allows heat to spread throughout the whole house. Alternatively, wall-mounted heaters provide warmth in autumn and spring. Temperature fluctuations are reduced making the house very liveable year round.
