In recent years, individuals, industries, and governments have all made deliberate efforts to live and produce things in an environmentally friendly manner. "Going green" is the new trend for the right reason. For a long time, there have been many features which have drawn buyers to purchase a new home, from location to garden size, kitchen layout to walk-in wardrobes, but now it seems that eco features are more important and have shunted other once-popular features down the list.
The quest to obtain sustainable development and battle climate change has also gotten hold of the construction industry. Eco-friendly buildings are being constructed because they're much safer for the environment than conventional buildings, they also save energy and reduce waste, making them attractive options.
Prospective buyers want sustainable homes which are kind to the planet, it seems people would prefer to have solar panels over having a large garden. People are naturally becoming more aware and conscious of their impact on the environment. During the pandemic, they spent more time at home than ever before and have inevitably become more aware of how they're using energy and of sustainable changes they can make.
Sitting on 2.5 acres, Rye Hill Barn is a perfect example. A stunning new barn conversion based near Eydon in Northamptonshire has been designed to a very high specification but to have a low environmental impact. Eco features include two air source heat pumps for hot water and for heating, a full mechanical ventilation and heat recovery system to reduce heating costs and improve air quality and hot water underfloor heating.
Rye Hill Barn is a fantastic rural new property not far from North Oxfordshire's borders. The designers have incorporated high environmental credentials to offer low-cost modern living. Added to these are many luxury features including a custom-made kitchen, a cinema room, a sauna, a heated swimming pool and a paddock.
