THE PROJECT

Ermine designed and built a single home to a high specification for private sale. A material amendment improved the consented elevations while retaining the steep pitched roof and local character.

CONSIDERED CHOICES

The gas-free home uses an air-source heat pump with underfloor heating at ground-floor level. Velfac windows and rooflights bring high performance and natural daylight.

Enhanced insulation and on-site soakaways support lower running costs and reduced pressure on the existing sewer network.

PROJECT DELIVERY

Outbuildings with asbestos-cement roofs were removed, while ecology and tree-protection conditions safeguarded mature trees and local habitats.

A shared utility trench reduced disruption on the access road. Overhead power lines, limited storage and sequenced utility installations were managed through close coordination.
