Martins was built as an eco-house using sustainable building materials, recycled roof tiles, recycled bricks and pine doors from the Victorian cottages which were on the site (they had a demolition order on them), large double glazed windows for passive heat, very well insulated walls and ground floor with Warmcel insulation.  All this creates a very inexpensive, wholesome, calming atmosphere to live in.
