Our eco-home..

‘Waxwings Retreat’ is an annex attached to our architect-designed ecohome with its own access.

It has underfloor heating throughout. The cost of heating, water and domestic electricity is included in the tariff.

Our home is highly-insulated with triple-glazed windows, airtight and benefits from an air-circulation system.

Solar panels generate most of our electricity during the year.

Rain water from our cedar shingle roof feeds George’s Pond in the garden and is also collected for our vegetable garden. We use mains water but all waste water and toilet waste is processed on site by our Klargester biodigester - further reducing our environmental impact.

At the time of writing we do not have an EV charger point.
