Description

Set in one of the most prestigious areas of Leigh-on-Sea this beautiful 5-bedroom detached home, originally built in 1895, has been lovingly transformed to create the amazing masterpiece it is today. With extensive views across the Estuary, this property is perfectly situated being just a short stroll away from the fashionable Leigh Broadway with its wide range of bars, restaurants and boutiques & picturesque fisherman town of Old Leigh. Chalkwell and Leigh stations are close by with a short commute directly to London.

Overview - The house has been renovated using the principles of a Passive Haus to a restored property resulting in a super-efficient yet warm home. Super insulated from top to bottom with PIR thermal foil type Celotex insulation boards and every floor is insulated between joists before the under-floor heating has been fitted. All the exterior walls are internally lined with a minimum 50mm PIR board.
The roof has a minimum 150mm and is of a warm roof design, insulated above the joists with TLX Gold Insulating Breather Membrane, then insulated between rafters with a minimum 50mm PIR board. Flat areas of the roof have a minimum 150mm PIR Insulation.

Insulation levels combined with the glazing system, MVHR air system and B&G Concept 760 Green log burner mean the house is as near to the European Passive Haus building standard as is practical with an old home renovation. Ultimately the Passive Haus approach to renovation has resulted in minimal energy costs. Electric bills less than £25 a month including cooking and car charging! Gas bills are less than £1500 per year.

Making the house super energy efficient is the mechanic ventilation system featured in all the rooms. Warm air is recovered from heat generating rooms such as bathrooms, the kitchen, utility and study log burner then taken down to the basement unit where up to 85% of the heat is recovered before the air is vented out. This recovered heat is then used to heat the fresh air being pumped in to circulate throughout the property.

The underfloor central heating system is heated by the gas boiler. Each room has an individual thermostat which is network linked to the central control allowing for every room to be heated to its own requirements. In turn the thermostats are connected to a home automation system which is detailed below. In the shower rooms there are electric floor heating mats directly under the shower areas which apply extra heat ensuring comfort and quick drying.

All of the windows are fitted with Internorm Home pure timber & aluminium composite quadruple glazing which is white spruce internally and grey aluminium externally. The glazing has a triple gasket feature for sun and privacy protection, sound and thermal insulation and between the outer panes blinds have been fitted which are electronically controlled by the home automation system. All of the opening units tilt and turn; tilt for ventilation or turn inwards for full opening and easy cleaning access. Made by Internorm of Germany they feature levels of insulation suitable for alpine locations up to 1000m which is perfectly suited to a seaside location. The front and back doors are made by Internorm sister company Schuco, these offer the highest levels of insulation and security.

Specifically designed for Passive Haus applications the unit is vented from outside of the room to within the fire box only. Using the built-in fans to draw air from the room, pass it around the fire box and release back into the room this results in maximum heat gain. Once warmed up this can be adjusted to a very slow burn and retaining the overnight burn in combination with the house MVHR system means that effectively the whole house can be heated with heat generated by the burner.
Collingwood LED low energy and dimmable lighting is fitted inside and out of the whole property, resulting in super low energy bills. The lights are wired in zones linked to the central home automation system allowing for practically unlimited mood lighting options.

A Beam central vacuum is housed in the cellar. There are hose points on each floor and plinth extraction in the kitchen.

A Control4 system has been designed and installed by Rayleigh Hifi. The main features are;
•Electric blinds to all windows/rooms
•All lights are controlled, and multiple mood lighting can be achieved
•Outside lighting is controlled by camera zone activation
•Underfloor heating to all rooms is controlled
•The home alarm is integrated, garage door, electric car park turn table and gate are controlled

•Concealed mirror television to study

•Ability to control practically all electrics above from anywhere in the world.
