The Old Apple Store, Stawell Road, Stawell, Bridgwater
Built in 2009 as part of a small development comprising just five eco houses, this three double bedroom home was built and designed to level 5 of the code for sustainable homes (CfSH).
Situated on the site of the old apple storage sheds – hence the address, the property is very well insulated and is mostly triple glazed. On the south facing roof space there are solar panels that will absorb the suns heat to generate hot water and PV panels that will capture sunlight to convert into useable electricity - helping to reduce costs significantly. Furthermore, a rainwater harvesting tank supplies water for flushing toilets and washing clothes, reducing your mains water usage.
Internally there is a lovely feeling space with three double bedrooms and a large open plan ground floor. In brief the property comprises to the ground floor; an entrance hall, cloakroom and open plan kitchen/dining/living space with French doors into south facing rear garden. To the first floor are the three double bedrooms with en suite to the master bedroom and main family bathroom.
With the ground floor living space being open plan, it’s a fantastic area for families to enjoy and is extremely sociable when entertaining. The views of the beautiful rear garden, particularly in the summer months, add to the feeling of village life. Part of the wider Polden Villages, a very well served collection of villages either side of the A39, Stawell provides easy access to Street, Glastonbury and Wells. In the other direction there is access into Bridgwater and to the M5.
The property is warmed by an Ecotek wood pellet heating that powers the heaters throughout the home. An immersion is also available to heat water alongside the solar panels.
Outside there is a small garden area to the front with steps to the front door and to the rear is a south facing, well stocked and mature country garden with door to the garage. The garage provides parking for the property and has double doors to the front accessed via the communal area at the rear, where there is also a visitor space available.
A smart, modern and efficient home, it’s well worth an internal viewing appointment to fully appreciate the space and position of what is a lovely village property.
