With rising energy bills at the forefront of public consciousness, sustainability continues to be a priority for homebuyers and renters alike.
Energy Performance Certificates provide an indication of a property’s green credentials, with those rated A to C the most efficient.
Whether retrofitting existing homes or building new homes with the environment and energy performance in mind, consideration is now being given to everything from design and material choices, through to double glazing, insulation, low-energy appliances and lighting.
Eco-friendly features such as heat pumps, solar panels and green roofs are also increasingly common. Outside the home, attention has turned to electric vehicle charging points, harvesting rainwater and creating rich habitats for wildlife.
From an A-rated family home within the South Downs National Park to a passive house in Cornwall, featured below is a selection of sustainable homes currently on the market.
The Fairway is a recently remodelled and extended house on the private Coombe Estate. Rated EPC A, the four-bedroom home benefits from high-level insulation, triple-glazed windows, car charging supply, solar panels, and a top-of-the-range air source heat pump.
