Description
This traditional Cornish stone cottage exemplifies a thoughtful integration of vernacular building techniques with contemporary sustainable technologies. The structure benefits from locally sourced natural materials, including stone and lime mortar, which provide significant thermal mass, enabling effective thermal storage and contributing to a stable internal environment throughout the year.
The ground floor features electric underfloor heating embedded beneath stone-tiled floors, segmented into three independently controlled zones via digital thermostats and timers, allowing precise, energy-efficient climate control. Heating, hot water, and cooking are exclusively electric and supplied through a renewable energy tariff, reinforcing the property’s low-carbon credentials.
The insulated attic incorporates a Positive Input Pump system that recycles warm air from the roof void into habitable spaces, enhancing heat retention and minimizing energy loss. Two modern wood burning stoves, fitted with new chimney liners, meet and surpass stringent EU emission standards, ensuring clean combustion and environmental compliance.
The cottage’s roof is oriented east-west, optimally positioned for photovoltaic panel installation (subject to planning), presenting an excellent opportunity for onsite renewable energy generation. While select windows are double glazed, there is scope for further glazing enhancements to improve thermal performance and reduce heat loss.
Recent conservation work, executed by skilled craftsmen specializing in traditional lime mortar and stone masonry, ensures the fabric’s durability and ongoing breathability, maintaining the building’s integrity while supporting sustainable building principles.
