A set of part glazed double doors open into the open plan living kitchen, a wonderfully sized, L-shaped room with glazing to four elevations and two sets of bi-fold doors creating that much sought-after flow from in to out. The handmade shaker style kitchen has a comprehensive range of units with a variety of integrated Siemens appliances, stone worktops, a Quooker tap and a large central island with breakfast bar. To the rear of the kitchen is a fully fitted utility/boot room providing ample further storage, a secondary sink, and a door out to the side of the property.

A further set of double doors open into the property’s reception room that spans the depth of the property with oak floor, floor to ceiling glazing to two elevations and a stone fireplace with log burner inset. The ground floor is completed by a useful study and a downstairs cloakroom, both accessed from the entrance hall.

The principal bedroom sits to the rear of the property with a large, arched window framing the countryside views beyond. There is a fully fitted walk in wardrobe and an ensuite bathroom with a large walk-in shower, wash hand basin, low flush lavatory and heated towel rail. There are a further three double bedrooms, one adjacent to the principal bedroom that is a generous size with built-in wardrobes and an ensuite shower room. The further two sit to the other end of the landing, both good sized rooms with space for free-standing furniture and served by the family bathroom. The family bathroom comprises a free-stand bathtub, walk-in shower, double wash basin, low flush lavatory and heated towel rail.

The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with fencing on all sides and a large porcelain patio with garden lighting adjacent to the property’s living spaces creating the ideal space for indoor/outdoor entertaining.

Energy Efficiency - Maple Barn has been built and finished to an incredibly high specification and has been future proofed with smart technology throughout. There are solar PV panels with battery storage, an air source heat pump, and a Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery system. All of the above combined with a heavily insulated dwelling create a very inexpensive and green house to own and run.

It is unusual to find a developer who is prepared to put this amount of technology and expense into a property however Kaybee Developments pride themselves on being a forward thinking green company with sustainability at the heart of their ethos. They want to create classical modern houses that are not only relevant in today's market but for many years to come.

Mechanical Ventilation With Heat Recovery - MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery) provides fresh filtered air into a building whilst retaining most of the energy that has already been used in heating the building. Heat Recovery Ventilation is the solution to the ventilation needs of energy efficient buildings.

Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) is a whole house ventilation system that both supplies and extracts air throughout a property. This is increasingly used to reduce the heating and cooling demands of buildings.

A heat recovery ventilation system works by extracting moist and stale air from wet rooms in your home, it recovers the usually lost heat from the extracted air. It also supplies clean, filtered fresh air that is heated from the recovered warmth of the extracted heat. As an added bonus, this system can make your home more energy efficient when installed correctly.

Solar Pv And Battery Storage - Solar PV systems are popular with homeowners seeking to reduce their energy bills and their impact on the environment. But when considering solar panels, a common challenge is that solar arrays only generate electricity when the sun is shining and homes often have a significant evening usage. If this is the case, solar battery storage offers an ideal solution allowing homeowners to fully harness that clean, green energy day and night.

Solar battery storage works by capturing any excess electricity generated by solar panels during daylight hours and holding it in reserve for use at a later time. This stored energy can then be tapped into after dark to keep the lights on or during cloudy spells to avoid drawing from the grid. With the combination of solar panels and battery banks, you can use more of the power you generate and it’s often more cost effective than exporting your energy to the grid.

Location - Great Easton is one of the most attractive Welland Valley villages in highly accessible and yet unspoilt countryside. The village benefits from a public house, shop/post office, active village hall and a parish church. The nearby market towns of Uppingham and Market Harborough provide a good array of everyday shopping facilities and amenities, with the latter providing a good rail link to London St Pancras in under an hour. There are excellent primary and secondary schools with independent schools in the area at Oakham, Stamford and Uppingham.
