Services

Mains water, sewage and electricity. Super-fast fibre broadband connected. Solar heated hot water. Solar PV panels (with generous, index-linked,feed-in tariff.) Oil-fired central heating.

Solar Panels

12 solar panels provide most of the electricity needed by the property and a generous feed-in tariff delivers an annual income of around £2,000 per year. The tariff is index-linked. It is transferable with the house and, we understand, has a further 15 years remaining.

Solar Hot Water

A solar-heated hot water system on the rear of the roof provides warm water, reducing both the economic and ecological cost of producing hot water for washing and heating.
