PRICE REDUCED! Four bedroomed property for sale Leasehold, (999 year lease commenced 1998), at the renowned Hockerton Housing Project, Nottinghamshire, one of the most energy efficient homes in the UK. The earth sheltered design heats the building through passive solar gain, the south facing conservatory has stunning views overlooking a lake.
The houses completed in 1998 were designed by ‘green’ architects Professor Brenda Vale and Dr Robert Vale, whose own ground-breaking home in Southwell (the ‘Autonomous House’ was an entry in the Guinness book of records for 2 years due to its low energy use) provided much of the inspiration and know-how for this project.
Designed as one of the first zero energy residential systems in the UK reducing life cycle energy to a minimum becoming some of the most energy efficient, purpose built dwellings in Europe.
The houses are earth covered and have passive solar heating removing the need for a space heating system.
Two wind turbines and two photovoltaic systems provide energy requirements for the homes.
The water and sewage system is self-contained.
The development consists of a terrace of five single storey dwellings which are earth-sheltered at the rear (North), such that the ground surface slopes and blends smoothly into the field at the back.
This house, house number 3 (the largest of the properties at HHP) is approx. 6m x 22m with an additional 19X3 m south-facing conservatory. All of the internal rooms have 3 m high French windows that open onto the conservatory.
