Contemporary village living.

Description

Greenslade is a carefully curated contemporary house positioned towards the edge of the village.

The house was designed by the current owners who are architects, utilising SIP (Structural Insulated Panels) method of construction with part Hornton stone and rendered construction under a pitch slate roof.

This is the first time the house has come to the market having been designed and built in 2017– 2018.

Particular attention to detail including double glazing throughout, bespoke hardwood joinery, door furniture, air source under floor heating to the ground floor with engineered oak flooring and Porcelain tiled flooring to kitchen and entrance hall, mechanical ventilation system, kitchen with electric range with double oven and grill, induction hob, quartz work surfaces and island unit.

Key attributes that really make this home individual include generous ceiling heights and windows creating a real sense of space; free flowing ground floor rooms off the hallway are ideal for entertaining; full height windows in the vaulted principal bedroom; central staircase and staircase well making a lovely exciting feature in the centre of the house; solar panels to battery storage thereby greatly reducing day to day running costs particularly if managed carefully, all taking advantage of a modern insulated home with very low air leakage (2.9 air volume/m2 slightly below Passive House, average new house levels about 6.0).

Easily maintainable level and enclosed gardens with low maintenance external finishes to the rear with paved courtyard entertaining area; off road parking; covered seating and parking area meaning shopping can be unloaded even in the wettest of days; garage and workshop area.
