Meldone Estates are excited to offer to the market this unique beautiful home. This property has been built based on the ‘Passive House’ concept, which means it is a highly energy efficient property. This high standard concept also promotes indoor comfort and acoustic insulation. This home has a very rare ‘A’ rated energy efficient certificate, in our opinion as Agents this is the first that we have seen in the Kent area. The current vendors have spared no expense to be self-sufficient when it comes to energy consumption, with no gas supply as water is heated by multiple solar panels and a ground source heat pump. This property uses 90% less energy than a standard home which is a fantastic bonus with energy prices currently skyrocketing at the moment! What’s not to love?

There are 5 principals to a passive style house

1. No thermal bridging – this means making sure walls, floors and roofs are well insulated with no gaps. This reduces the need for heating or cooling to achieve a comfortable temperature.
2. High-quality insultation – the quality of the insultation is key to the success of the building design. The insulation serves to minimise the heat exchange with the outside environment. Passive House buildings employ high-quality insulation like stone wool.
3. Superior windows – to ensure that the entire building envelope is well insulated it is important to use quality windows that have a low thermal conductivity.
4. Airtight construction – there should be no uncontrolled airflow between the internal and external environment.
5. Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery – all this effort to insulate the building is coupled with high quality ventilation that recovers heat from the used air and transfers it to the fresh air coming in. This ensures a minimal loss of energy and a good indoor air quality.

This large chalet style home was completed in 2022 by its present owners to a very high specification. The vendor has identified that the property comes with a 10-year warranty. It is set along Berrys Green Road, a street located in the village off Biggin Hill in the London Borough of Bromley.

The house is accessed by gates. On approach, you will be impressed by an ‘in and out’ driveway. The home sits on a 100-metre-long plot which has multi vehicle parking and additional scope for an electricity charging point to be fitted. The approximate plot size is 3011 sqm / 0.74 acres in total.

The home harvests rainwater by way of a rainwater filtration system in a 7,500 litre tank and this has the potential to reduce your water bills by 50%.

Some words from the current owners
“We purchased it as it had a beautiful sized garden, a beautiful valley view with no property overlooking at the end of garden.
It is a lovely quiet location yet close to all amenities. We are extremely proud of its A rating passive house standard. No damp, no mould no condensation, no drafts. Very little dust and fresh filtered air. Extremely low energy costs and the rain water harvesting makes our water costs very low flushing toilets etc. The finger print entry front door and windows are off the highest quality and security from Internorm.
Moving on sadly to downsize and fully retire. So proud to have achieved a very flexible multi-generational layout and the super energy efficiency. The neighbourhood look out for each other are friendly and caring.”
