Why buy this home?
Because this is a home that has been future proofed as well as beautifully looked after. This four bedroom detached family home sits in the heart of the village of Pitstone and offers an impressive EPC rating of B, exceptionally low running costs and a level of energy efficiency that is rarely found in homes of this style.
The entrance hall sets the tone straight away, offering practical space for coats and shoes and access to a downstairs W C. From here, the main living room opens up across the full width of the house, filled with natural light from its large window and centred around a log burner that makes the room feel warm and inviting year round.
There is a second reception room currently used as a dining room, ideal for family meals or entertaining, alongside a recently refitted kitchen that connects effortlessly with the rest of the ground floor. A conservatory sits to the rear, overlooking the garden and creating a natural link between inside and out.
Upstairs, the first floor offers four well proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom, with three of the bedrooms benefiting from built in cupboards to keep storage neatly out of sight.
Externally, the home continues to impress with off road parking for multiple vehicles, a detached garage with an electric door and a south facing rear garden that enjoys sun throughout the day.
What really sets this home apart is its energy efficiency. With ten solar panels, excellent insulation and a brand new air source heat pump installed in August 2024 with all new pipework and radiators, this is one of the most energy efficient homes currently on the market. The EPC rating of B and consistently low monthly electric bills make this a genuinely cost effective and future proof home.
