Country House, North East Fife
** SOLD **
This country house property is a new build Country mansion in a lovely rural setting in the heart of North East Fife . It offering all of the trappings of a new efficient home combined with the grandure and style of a large traditional country house.
At around 720m2 ( 7747 ft2) , this country house offers a magnificent range of accommodation designed to offer luxury with a small carbon footprint without compromise on elegance, stlye and finish.The heating and hot water is provided via two ground source heat pumps which draw the heat from the ground through a network of pipes below the main lawns ( this system is 400% efficent and reduced heating bills by around 75%). The ground floor incorporates underfloor heating which operates much more efficiently than a conventional radiator system whilst offering a more evenly distributed and confortable heat.
With outer walls constructed in reclaimed local stone; clay pantile and slate roofs and with large expanses of glazing, the property displays little to suggest its many environmental credentials.
All of the internal walls of the house are constructed of structural insulated panels ( SIPs) which are very strong, have very high thermal efficiency and allow for draft free construction. Essentially the whole house is an airtight space. There is also a very high degree of sound insulation from this method of construction, giving a traditional 'solid' feel to the interior.
Ventilation to the house is controlled through three heat recovery units hidden in the attic space. These units remove warm stale air from the house and pass it over a heat exchanger to warm the fresh air being pumped in to the house. This ensures heat is conserved whilst all of the air in the house is replaced every 2 hours.
Complemented by multiple car garaging, stables/workshop and a superior two bedded cottage all in around 3 acres of garden and paddock.
