If you are looking to move house this year, have you ever considered investing in a more eco-friendly green home?
With the help of Zoopla, we have tracked down some of the most eco-friendly homes in Bolton- now is your chance to take a peek inside some of them.
The properties on the market in Bolton boast a wide range of cutting-edge energy saving features including triple glazed windows, solar panels, energy performance certificates of 80+1 and they also enjoy energy efficiency ratings of A or B.
A spokesperson from Zoopla said: “The eco-properties available in Bolton feature some world-leading, eco-friendly technologies, and for homeowners who want to be more green in their current property, the Government initiative will support their efforts.
“Under the Government’s Green Homes Grant initiative, homeowners in the town will be entitled to claim up to two-thirds of the bill for certain types of work done to improve their property’s energy efficiency, up to a maximum spend of £5,000. “
One environmentally friendly home in Bolton is this five-bed detached home on High Bank Lane.
It is an eye-watering £1,250,000 but when you consider how much its energy saving features can save you this high price point doesn’t seem as steep.
The heating system has been specifically designed to make the property as eco-friendly and cost efficient as possible.
Most of the rooms benefit from underfloor heating which does more than just keep your feet warm and give the home a more modern touch.
It helps to regulate heat in a large space and also operates at a lower temperature than standard radiators meaning less energy is expended.
Another eco-friendly aspect of the home are the solar panels which can power aspects of your home instead of relying on fossil-fuelled electricity.
Aside from its environmentally friendly amenities, the million pound property has a lot of other attractive features; for many, it would even be consider a dream home.
It benefits from five bedrooms and a whopping five bathrooms.
A unique aspect of the property is that it has its own orangery, perfect for relaxing in during the summer months when the sun can beam in.
Luckily for Boltonians with a keen interest in the environment, this isn’t the only eco home up for grabs in the town.
This four bedroom home in Ashworth Lane is much more affordable than the previous listing, priced at £329,950.
Measures have already been taken to make the house more eco-friendly as the windows are double glazed and solar panels have been fitted; you can use the government’s Green Homes grant to make further improvements.
Beyond being more eco-friendly than most homes, this property looks like a fantastic place to live.
It has been completely updated and renovated and is ideal for large families.
The kitchen is the heart of the home as it is fully fitted with a “crème shaker style finish”.
The master bedroom is enviable, as it is a attached to a three piece en-suite complete with a freestanding bath.
Externally, there is a large family patio area with gorgeous wrap around gardens.
Best of all, this property price was reduced by £10,000 late last year meaning that it is an absolute steal.
