While this might be more than £360,000 more expensive than the average house in Worcester, it’s important to weigh up the long-term energy saving benefits and also how the house can reduce your carbon footprint.

All windows in the house are double glazed which reduce the amount of heat lost and the amount of energy wasted.

The property has plenty of windows and bifold doors, allowing natural light in during the day and reducing the need to turn lights on

There is also a solar hot water system, allowing some of the property’s water to be heated via solar power which is much better for the environment.

Another unique aspect of the home is the underfloor heating which does more than just keep your feet warm and give the home a more modern touch.

It helps to regulate the temperature in the space and also operates at a lower temperature than standard radiators meaning less energy is expended.

Beyond the environmental benefits of the home, it looks like a fantastic place to live and bring up a family.

It benefits from clistone work surfaces and also has a double sink complete with mixer tap attachment.

Integrated appliances include a double oven, integrated microwave and a coffee machine.

Some may argue that the best integrated appliance is the feature wine cooler which has been installed below the central island.

The lounge looks like the heart of the home, with three feature radiators and pelmet spot lighting to improve the room’s ambience at night.

It’s the perfect place to escape to and get some work done; once you have finished your daily tasks, head out to the decked area to relax.
