So long gas stoves, hello heat pumps. They may not be the cheapest to start with, but so-called ‘eco-homes’ apparently cost less to heat than your regular abode – and can save you a whole load of money in the long run.
Now one of these properties could be yours – for half a million quid. The ‘Grand Designs’-esque home in Flintshire, North Wales, comes with an abundance of features that aim to minimise environmental impact. It has underfloor heating powered by an air-source heat pump, rainwater harvesting, an electric vehicle charging point and a ‘green roof’ with solar panels.
And just because it’s climate-friendly, doesn’t mean you have to compromise on luxury. The property has three bedrooms, with a dressing room attached to the master. There are also remote-controlled skylights which make the property feel airy and bright, plus a gorgeous landscaped garden.
