Services
Mains water, electricity and gas. Septic tank drainage. Gas central heating. Zehnder air ventilation system. Solar roof panels. 

Solar Roof Panels
Solar panels have been integrated to the front and rear roofs with an installed capacity of 3.7 kW. They generate around 1,900 kWh per year, significantly reducing electricity bills, as well as generating a revenue of £163 in 2023. A Solar iBoost is also installed, which diverts any surplus electricity to the water tank immersion heater, rather than exporting to the national grid. 

Ventilation and Heat Recovery
A Zehnder ComfoAir Q unit is installed in the property with associated ductwork to all rooms. The unit continually removes 'stale' air from bathrooms, kitchen and utility; passing it through a heat exchanger to warm incoming fresh air, which is distributed to the living/dining room and bedrooms. The system is very energy efficient, with a heat recovery of 96%, as well providing continual fresh 'Lake District' air. 

Flooding
The former original property experienced flooding in 2009 and 2015. 

Flood Resilience
The new 'Quinta' was built after the Keswick floods of 5 to 6 December 2015. The site has not flooded since, but with ever changing weather patterns it could flood again in the future. The ground floor structure has been designed to cope with the impact of a flood event, with the only exception being the need to remove any motor vehicles to high ground. The living accommodation is now 1.6 metres above the highest recorded flood level. More importantly, this is 113% above the highest recorded 'peak river flow', which is the measure preferred by the Environment Agency. The current owner was involved in preparation of the Flood Risk Assessment as required by the Environment Agency and can explain this in more detail. Insurance should be available through any insurer that is signed up to the Government Flood Re scheme. 

Construction
The ground floor (garage/workshop/carport) is a concrete block construction with a steel framework and reinforced concrete slab to support the main house on the first and second floors which have a Danwood timber frame structure under a slate clad roof. The house is highly insulated including triple glazing and has an "A" class rating. A 20 year warranty is provided by Dan-Wood the manufacturer's of the timber frame.


Construction Warranty
The completed construction of the property has a 10 year warranty insurance cover provided by Self-Build Zone under reference UKSW-5187665 dating from August 2018.
