These are complemented a very recently installed air source heat pump, solar panels, a Solar Edge battery and a 210ltr Eddi water cylinder, all reducing running costs for the property to zero in the summer months. Cast iron radiators, a very well-appointed kitchen and excellent bath and shower rooms complete the this exceptionally appealing property.
