Broad Lane, Tile Hill, Coventry

This unique executive 5 bedroom 4 bathroom (plus a cloakroom!) individually designed home has numerous eco features to ensure it has low running costs.
Built in 2015, it was designed by the present owners to be as ‘eco’ efficient as possible. This home has many unique features in it. The electric car charger is linked to the solar panels. The built-in air ventilation system filters the air coming into the house to ensure a clean and moist free environment which helps with people with breathing issues. It also extracts stale air from the kitchen and all bathrooms ensuring that there’s no need to have trickle vents in windows or extractor fans in the bathrooms. Both floors have under floor heating which is computer controlled to ensure balanced temperature throughout the house. The sash windows on the front elevation have sound proof glass and all the rear windows are all triple glazed which all helps with the overall efficiency of the house.

The grand entrance hallway to this fabulous family home features a stunning oak staircase with doors leading off the hall to lounge, study, w/c and coatroom. The spacious lounge has a feature log burner and panoramic bi- fold doors overlooking the garden.
The heart of this beautiful home is the 33ft kitchen/diner/snug which has a feature island with granite worktop. Integrated appliances including a dishwasher, fridge- freezer, hot- tap with filtered water and a range cooker. The wide bi-fold doors open up onto the spacious patio for summer entertaining. The utility room house has plumbing for the washing machine / tumble dryer and a built in water softener. In the summer the hot water tank is heated by the power that the solar panels generate- without using electricity or gas.

On the first floor you will find five double bedrooms, all but one stand alone which ensures occupants don't disturb anyone adjacent to them. The master bedroom suite is in its own area and features a spacious en-suite, walk- in wardrobe and dressing area. Bedroom 2 has its own en-suite and wall to wall fitted wardrobes; bedroom 3 (with a Velux Cabrio balcony window) and 4 can be configured into a self contained annex with an en-suite, or 2 separate bedrooms sharing the en-suite. Bedroom 5 is set up as a ‘jack and Jill’ access to the luxurious master bathroom which has a rolled top cast iron bath.
Outside in the garden there is a generous sized insulated summerhouse which has double glazed bi-fold doors and windows with electricity/ internet connection which can be used as an office or gym. Around the solar panels at the bottom of the garden is a raised bed vegetable garden, a green house and working water well with a fitted integrated metal safety grill.
This wonderful desirable impressive home has to be viewed to appreciate all its features it has to offer.
