Best Home
What’s more impressive is the house itself. It only costs £500 a year to heat! Imagine that! Granted, building your own house to save on heating costs is a tad extreme, but this house isn’t huge or ostentatious and showy.
It fits its riverside location, it works with its surroundings, and without sounding too much like Kevin McCloud, it’s been designed with integrity.
The 3000 sq ft property is set in two acres of woodland. It’s built with Douglas fir and clad with redwood cedar. It’s got four bedrooms split over three levels. And, well, it’s beautiful.
Without a doubt, the eco credentials helped Amanda get the award, but it’s a great house. I can’t wait to see what she’s going to build next. She’s selling Wood End and starting another project.
With more properties like this being built, there’s an awareness that eco friendly solutions are not only possible when building a property, they’re practical and aesthetically pleasing as well.
