Common Road, Thatcham, RG19

Both homes have been designed to be as ‘self supporting’ as possible, to leave a minimal carbon footprint. The properties have been predicted an A+ grade energy performance certificate, meaning lower emissions (and lower energy bills). To achieve this, the developer has incorporated roof-mounted solar panels with a 5.8Kw battery to conserve energy for future use, plus a 5,000-litre water harvesting tank.

The houses are internally timber framed with 125mm of insulation for excellent warmth, with the exterior build of thermal blocks and clad in Canadian red cedar and white render under a roof of natural slate. The anthractie aluminium origin bifold doors and UPVc windows and doors are complemented by colour matching fascias and soffits, guttering and down pipes. Both properties further benefit from a 10-year Buildzone Guarantee.

The ground floor spaces feature a large open plan living area, which is zoned for a kitchen, dining space and sitting room, plus a separate formal living room and a good-size study. There is also a useful utility room and cloakroom with WC. Upstairs, four generous double bedrooms offer plenty of space for families and visiting
guests, with bespoke, hand-built walk-in dressing rooms and en suite bathrooms with premium fixtures.
