A detached family house offering exceptional eco-living, achieving an EPC band A, in a popular North Cotswolds village
An exceptional contemporary eco-home, ideally positioned at the end of a private close overlooking a communal green, offering highly efficient, living alongside beautifully designed family accommodation.
The property was built in 2016 and is approached via an open entrance porch with tiled roof, leading into a generous entrance hall with a cloakroom. The ground floor accommodation is thoughtfully arranged and includes a stylish sitting room featuring a modern wood burner, bespoke book shelving and bifold doors opening onto the garden. A separate family room with bay window and a well-proportioned study provide excellent additional living space.
The heart of the home is the impressive open-plan fitted kitchen/dining room with granite work surfaces and a central breakfast island. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, fridge, freezer, double electric oven, induction hob and extractor hood above. Bi-fold doors connect the space seamlessly to the rear terrace, creating an ideal setting for both family living and entertaining. The utility room offers fitted storage and space for a stacked washing machine and tumble dryer along with drying racks.
The first floor is accessed via turning stairs leading to a spacious wraparound study landing. There are five bedrooms in total, two of which benefit from en suite shower rooms, together with a family bathroom comprising both bath and a separate shower enclosure, and a useful linen cupboard.
The property enjoys a private and well-designed lawned garden to the rear with strategic seating areas including a paved terrace, a wood chip terrace with swing seat, and a corner decked terrace. Pleached holm oak trees offer screening and privacy.
To the front, there is a lawn with mature shrubs and a detached double garage with a climbing wisteria that is fully boarded with ladder access, providing excellent additional storage.
The current owners have installed eco measures resulting in an EPC rating of A.
It is understood that a substantial solar panel array, in excess of 9kW and split across both house and garage roofs, generates approximately 8,000 kWh per year—sufficient to power heating, hot water and general household use. A solar battery system further enhances efficiency, enabling the current owners to source approximately 90% of their electricity at off-peak rates, resulting in exceptionally low energy costs. The battery system can be operated as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), allowing continued operation in the event of a power outage. The fully electric home eliminates gas usage and associated standing charges.
Heating, cooling and hot water are provided via a high-performance heat pump, certified by the Passivhaus Institute for its efficiency and with a fully-integrated external unit. This unit includes a whole-house ventilation system which ensures excellent air quality in every room, reduces heating demand in winter and provides comfort cooling during warmer months. The property also benefits from an intelligent EV charging point, allowing significantly reduced running costs for electric vehicles. A second EV point is prewired so that a second charging point can be easily added.
Overall, 6 Dudley Johnson Close represents a rare opportunity to acquire an environmentally advanced home, combining cutting-edge sustainability with contemporary, modern living.
