Nothing focuses the mind on energy saving like a long hard cold spell. So two highly energy-efficient houses in Tyler Hill, Canterbury, that open their doors to house hunters this weekend, are expected to attract plenty of interest.
Both offer spacious accommodation and have been carefully designed to accommodate family needs.
The front door of St Mark's house opens into the main hallway area that has stunning porcelain tiles. The hallway leads into the open-plan kitchen and dining room. The kitchen has a butler sink and a stylish range cooker with an induction hob. It has space for a dishwasher, fridge freezer and washing machine.
The dining room has oak flooring and overlooks the front garden. There is a cloakroom, and sitting room with French doors to the garden.
The first-floor landing leads to the master bedroom suite that has a breakfast balcony, built-in wardrobes and a Travertine tiled en suite with a spacious shower, his and hers sinks and a toilet.
A further two double bedrooms and a family bathroom with separate shower and spa bath can be found on the first floor.
On the second floor are two further double bedrooms, a loft hatch, a storage and service cupboard.
The second property, St James's House, is the same footprint as St Mark's House but with a more contemporary feel in the kitchen and different tiling choices in the bathrooms.
Ecological features include photovoltaic panels, solar panels, high thermal construction, mechanical ventilation and heat recovery system, rainwater harvesting, argon-filled low E glass box frame windows, underfloor heating and central vacuum system.
Both properties have a front garden and a fenced rear garden with a garden shed supplied with mains electric. A rain harvesting system can be found in the gardens that services the washing machine and toilets.
There is an option to buy an acre of woodland with each property, within walking distance of the houses.
