Situation

May Hill is a lovely rural hamlet with a great pub and the hill itself is a notable local landmark. The hill is capped by a clump of pine trees planted in 1887 to commemorate the golden jubilee of Queen Victoria. May Hill Common (surrounding the hill) covers 30 hectares of common land acquired by the National Trust in 1988. There are beautiful, panoramic views from the top encompassing the Malvern Hills, the Cotswolds, the Severn Vale, the Forest of Dean, Herefordshire and the Black Mountains beyond.

Copperfields

* The Copperfields site still has the original property in situ, a detached 4-bedroom, extended 1950’s/60’s house which is in a very poor state of repair. Full planning permission has been granted for the removal of this property, and replacement with a superb, family sized 4-bedroom Passivhaus. * Passivhaus properties are built to have far greater insulation than typical UK properties, they are triple glazed with insulated frames, have impressive airtightness levels (around 20x more than a standard build) and incorporate mechanical ventilation, with a heat recovery system attached. * They aim to use minimal additional heating making them superbly eco-friendly and efficient, with the majority of heating coming from solar gain through the large south facing windows. * Additional heating, when required, will be provided by an air source heat pump.

The Outside

* The property will be approached off a quiet village lane where there will be ample parking and turning area and access to a detached garage/workshop. * The gardens are gently sloping and run to the south of the property and take in the fantastic views.
