GARDENS AND GROUNDS
The outside of the house is lit at night with all round lighting that switches on automatically at dusk and switches off again in the morning. All around the main house are well planned and stocked landscaped gardens with neat paths connecting the various areas. One of these areas is the superb Ruins that pay respect to the former owners of long ago who farmed this soil. The structure of the ruin is very pleasing on the eye and blends in to form a rare image and another quiet place to sit and ponder on the World. Beyond the inner gardens there are pathways that meander over the land and even to the property’s own Lake which could hold fish such as Koi and there is a lovely wooden bridge spanning it.
THE LAND
Meandering natural paths wend their way through this very attractive land made the more interesting by the planting of many varieties of fruit trees to supply the house and there are many specimen trees and shrubs planted in the outer areas of gardens providing shady areas. There is space to keep at least two horses if desired with plenty of space to create paddocks, possibly a manege and maybe turn the cart barn into stabling or erect additional stabling with prior approval.
ELECTRICITY, WATER & INTERNET
SOLAR PANELS
There are 32 panels at the property. The solar panels beside the pool are a water heater feature for the underfloor heating in the house and for heating the pool water if required. The remaining panels are located on a separate sun tracking structure further away from the house, the energy these photovoltaic panels produce is fed directly into EDP’s network and its value is deducted from the over all monthly electricity bill.
BOREHOLE
Supplies all the household and garden needs. There is a pre-filter at the outlet of the borehole and a fine filter in the technical room of the house (basement) via which the water is passed through a demineralisation system and then enters the circuit of the house. Drinking water could be produced with the addition of a reverse osmosis system.
