Services
The property has mains metered water and private drainage via two cess pits within the boundary, both of which have functioned reliably for over 30 years and require periodic emptying. Heating is provided by a wood-burning stove in the sitting room, electric SunRay radiators, and an electric Rayburn in the kitchen, which also supplies cooking, space heating, and hot water. Hot water comes from a tank with immersion heater, the Rayburn back boiler, and solar thermal panels (installed 2011), meaning supply varies seasonally. Cooking is via calor gas and the electric Rayburn. The property is well insulated, with cavity wall insulation, substantial loft insulation, additional Celotex roof insulation (2023), and spray foam insulation (1998). Solar PV panels (installed 2011) on the south-facing roof generate approximately £1,000 per year in tax-free income.
