Coopers Lane, Sellindge, TN25

“Unique” is an over used expression within estate agency - but nestled on a quiet country lane on the outskirts of the village of Sellindge, stands his one-of-a-kind eco-friendly detached home. Designed by the owners, with the aim of creating a home that offered comfort and luxury as well as exceptional enviromental credentials - “Rorty Crankle” delivers everything they envisaged, and is truly worthy of the title “unique”

From the striking zinc top roof and the ‘living’ green roof over the lower level, this home showcases its commitment to environmental harmony from the outset. The living roof in particular is a wonderful feature offering not only excellent insulation but vibrant variations in colour as the seasons change.

An air source heat pump supplies energy-efficient warmth through underfloor heating on the ground level and skirting board heating in the main bedrooms. The ventilation and heat recovery system delivers fresh, filtered air throughout the house, and reduces indoor pollen levels.

Throughout the home there are touches in both decoration and design that impress. From the moment you step into the entrance hall and see the artisan oak staircase, porthole windows and the curved walls, you’ll realise this is something special. Its generous spaces and light and airy feel are all thanks to meticulous planning and the owners creativity and eye for detail.

The real show stopper of the home is the expansive lounge with its solar glass windows and doors crafted from sustainable Accoya wood. This feature bay window is the perfect spot to look out across which the beautiful views of the surrounding gardens and fields beyond. Sitting here makes you feel at one with the world outside.

The ground floor also features a kitchen which has a wealth of storage and a quartz worktop with a breakfast bar. It is adjoined to the dining room via a pocket door, and there is a separate utility room too.

There are two bedrooms on the ground floor, and a wc/cloakroom which has enough space to add a shower cubicle. This would lend itself to multi generation living for anyone who needed a ground floor bathroom or en suite.

The first floor features the 4 piece family bathroom, as well as the two main bedrooms which both offer fabulous views to the rear.

The master bedroom benefits from a walk in wardrobe, an en suite shower room and a balcony. This added touch of luxury is the perfect place for an al fresco breakfast, or just to enjoy a morning coffee and take in the sights and sounds of nature.

The outside space is a joy. The garden is home to mature trees and shrubs, as well as wilding areas. There are raised beds for growing fruit and veg, and there’s even an underground rainwater harvesting system which makes taking care of the garden both cost-effective and eco-conscious.

To the front of the property there is a double garage and parking for up to 3 vehicles behind a secure gated entrance.

In a world of homes that look and feel the same, where new build properties are squeezed onto plots with little care or attention to environmental impact - beyond the essential box ticking requirements- Rorty Crankle stands proud. This is a rare opportunity to own a home that looks good, feels good, and does good - and seamlessly fits into its environment thanks to its ethical approach.
