Description

In a fascinating development of self-built eco-friendly homes, now a delightful community, is this lovely two-bedroom semi. The property, with a new boiler, underfloor heating, and a new roof, was (with its immediate and attached neighbour) the only plot to be developed by professional architects and built by a specialist green building company, thus ensuring a very high standard and design. The hall provides access to both bedrooms, through which you can get to the secluded tiered garden. Upstairs you will find one room: a splendid open-plan family space incorporating lounge, dining area and kitchen, and doors from here lead onto a balcony at the rear. The location is wonderfully placed: the City Centre is about 40 minutes on foot, there's off-street parking, and the M32 is just a few minutes' drive away. With no street lighting, the development, adjacent to The Narroways Nature Reserve, provides a pocket of dark sky, which means star-gazing becomes ever more possible despite its central city location.

Tenure: Freehold

LOCATION:

The Yard originated when the local community got together to protest plans for a "typical" housing estate being proposed in their midst on a former scaffolding yard which had been put up for sale. They triumphed and plots were instead sold to self-builders (this one, with its immediate attached neighbour, being the only plot that was developed by a professional architect and built by a specialist green building company), who created a fantastic array of eco-friendly homes. In so doing, a friendly community was formed, including communal gardens, workshops, and a community room. A train station nearby (a few minutes' walk) provides a high-speed electric rail link to London, and there is an off-road cycle path adjacent to the development. The development, which abuts the Narroways Nature Reserve, has no street lighting, so if star-gazing is your thing
