Vendors Comments:
"We bought the house from a lady who had lived here since 1955, and we chose it because
of all the amenities and necessities for our life are on the doorstep.
As an engineer and an artist our ambition was to design and build it as a place for ourselves,
in tune with our approach to life, renovating an existing house (1929) to comply with
modern standards.
We wanted a place to live that had high energy efficiency and built with a low impact on
resources and in line with our ‘buy local’ wherever you can philosophy.
We only engaged Bristol based tradesmen, bought all the materials from local builders’
merchants, plumbing and electrical suppliers, nearly all within walking distance or a short
10min drive.
Our other ‘products for living’ are also sourced locally. For example, our TV, radio,
dishwasher, oven, hob, washing machine and window blinds, were all bought from the
Gloucester Road that is of course renowned as the longest road of independent shops in
Europe (yes really!), and IKEA is less than 2 miles too!
We recycled materials from the original building wherever possible, including saving
unbroken floorboards to relay upstairs. Laying hemp fibre as a sound barrier in between the
joists. The original 1929 doors, with original catches and knobs were restored and reused
with all new wooden double-glazed wooden windows hand made to order, in Bristol, to the
original 1929 design. We installed all new plumbing and electrical circuits throughout.
All the exterior walls were lined on the inside with Kingspan K17 insulation and the whole
house replastered. The ground floor has 75mm Kingspan insulation underneath new
floorboards with tongue and grove natural oak faced flooring.
The new cavity walled garage was future proofed for alternative use with a reinforced
concrete slab floor laid over 100mm of Kingspan insulation. The central heating pipes and
water supply are carried thru, and several electric sockets, and the ceiling is insulated.
The house loft has been boarded over with 150mm insulation blanket and also has central
heating pipes and lighting and ring main installed. There is also plumbing installed ready to
fit a hot water solar panel that is linked to the twin coil hot water cylinder."
