This substantial five-bedroom detached house combines generous family living with high-spec eco credentials. Built in 2013, the home features geothermal ground-source underfloor heating, an 8kW solar array (with thermal tubes) still on a feed-in tariff, and a heat recovery/transfer system to cut energy bills. The open-plan kitchen/dining/family room, separate lounge with multi-fuel stove and a large games room create flexible space for modern family life and entertaining.
The principal suite is a comfortable retreat with dressing room and en-suite; three further double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a family bathroom provide room for children, guests or a home office. Practical additions include an integral double garage, large lock-block driveway, electrically operated gated entry and a well-kept south-facing garden with a generous patio for outdoor dining. The property is presented in good order with oak finishes, integrated kitchen appliances and LED downlighting.
Energy savings and income are notable: the solar array remains on a feed-in tariff with around 12 years remaining and historically produces payments (owners reported c.£3,500 pa), while the house recorded c.£2,400 annual energy costs last year. These features will particularly appeal to buyers wanting lower running costs and strong sustainability performance.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations: council tax is described as quite expensive, broadband speeds are average, and the wider area detail flags higher relative deprivation. Overall, this is a large, well-specified family home in Deeside offering space, privacy and long-term energy advantages for households prioritising comfort and sustainability.
