Boars Hill

Wootton

Set on the site of a former British Legion club, this development sought to replace an unsightly, single storey building with a pair of new, detached dwellings.

Rendered House with Stone Features, Oxfordshire

The light, airy tones of the elevations stand out on the street scene, and are accented by cottage style windows. The use of Cotswold Natural Stone to the lower part of the dwelling only allows it to stand out and become a feature of the dwelling, rather than just an external wall.

An open plan kitchen dining area, finished with high quality cabinetry, solid worktops and plinth lighting adds a feel of luxury to this detached home. With bi-folding doors opening up on to a rear garden,

The property is served by an air source heat pump, with heating distributed via underfloor pipework to the ground floor, and designer aluminium radiators to the first floor. The green credentials are further enhanced by the South facing element of the roof being covered by PV panels, and an electric vehicle charging point. The building fabric features enhanced thermal conductivity over the statutory requirements, with some elements being 30% over the building regulations minimum.
