Martins was built as an eco-house using sustainable building materials, recycled roof tiles, recycled bricks and pine doors from the Victorian cottages which were on the site (they had a demolition order on them), large double glazed windows for passive heat, very well insulated walls and ground floor with Warmcel insulation.  All this creates a very inexpensive, wholesome, calming atmosphere to live in.   

MARTINS - EXTERIOR  There is a five bar gate leading to a large driveway with ample parking for several vehicles and room to build either a cart lodge or garage (stpp).  A useful storage container is tucked away behind some foliage and is perfect for dry storage.  There is a pond in one corner and Martins has been planted all around the exterior with unusual and interesting planting.  There is a patio area perfect for outside dining, a well and a large decked area with amazing field views.

TENURE The property is freehold and vacant possession will be given upon completion.

SERVICES   Oil fired central heating, mains water and electricity, Wood burner to the Sitting Room and Reception Room upstairs.  There is a private treatment plant with no moving parts and does comply with the 2021 regulations.
