Whitaker Road, Combe Down, Bath, BA2 5FY

A three bedroom end terrace Passivhaus on the popular Mulberry Park development. High energy efficiency and immaculately presented throughout.

Close to the woodland walk and future park it also comes with a garage/driveway and sold with no onward chain.

Description   A certified Passivhaus home offering exceptional comfort, wellbeing and remarkably low running costs.

Filtered fresh air, a completely draught-free environment, triple-glazed acoustic windows and stable year-round temperatures create a healthier and quieter living experience, while ultra-low energy demand results in heating bills that are a fraction of those of a typical modern home.

Accommodation   This is a three bedroom end terrace Passivhaus home that features a spacious living room, kitchen diner with utility and WC, with an ensuite to bedroom one and a contemporary bathroom.

It sits in a peaceful location with the future woodland walk and brand new park a stones throw from the property.

You approach the property and once inside the hallway gives access to the living room and stairs to the first floor.

The living room is a spacious room with windows to the front aspect and door leading to the kitchen diner.

The kitchen diner has fitted wall and floor units with worktop which are complemented with a built-in fridge freezer, stainless steel electric oven, induction hob and cooker hood, washer/dryer.

The kitchen provides a good space for a family dining table and a door leads to the rear garden.

The ground floor has a cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin, together with generous under-stair storage. There is Karndean flooring throughout the ground floor.

Certified Passivhaus   This home is a certified Passivhaus – an internationally recognised standard representing one of the highest levels of energy-efficient residential construction.

Unlike an EPC rating, which is largely a theoretical assessment, Passivhaus certification is independently tested and verified, giving buyers confidence that the home has achieved an exceptionally demanding standard of design and construction.

Built with outstanding insulation, triple glazing, an exceptionally airtight building envelope and a sophisticated heat recovery ventilation system, Passivhaus homes are significantly more complex and costly to build than conventional new-builds.

The result is a home designed to deliver exceptional comfort, healthier living and outstanding energy efficiency. What is Passivhaus?

  A Passive House is a building standard that is truly energy efficient, comfortable and affordable at the same time.

Passive House is not a brand name, but a tried and true construction concept that can be applied by anyone, anywhere.

Yet, a Passive House is more than just a low-energy building: Passive Houses allow for space heating and cooling related energy savings of up to 90% compared with typical building stock and over 75% compared to average new builds.

Passive Houses use less than 1.5 l of oil or 1.5 m3 of gas to heat one square meter of living space for a year – substantially less than common “low-energy” buildings.

Vast energy savings have been demonstrated in warm climates where typical buildings also require active cooling.

Mulberry Park   Mulberry Park is a new development of high quality homes in the sought-after neighbourhood of Combe Down.

Situated on the southern slopes of the city, these spacious homes have been designed with energy efficiency and comfort in mind.

Offering the perfect blend of city and country living, Mulberry Park is within easy reach of both Bath's city centre and the area's stunning natural surroundings.

This award winning development is becoming one of Bath's finest, new residential communities.

With a new primary school, children's nursery, community hub cafe and state-of-the-art leisure facilities, with new supermarket to follow.

Mulberry Park will also provide Bath's first new park for 100 years, creating a green space that will be enjoyed by future generations.

Location   Combe Down sits on a level ridge approximately 1.25 mile (2 km) to the south of Bath city centre.

It sits at an altitude of 500ft and hence has always been renowned for its clean air quality with many moving from the city for this reason.

The village is adjoined to the north by large areas of natural woodland with public footpaths offering stunning panoramic views overlooking the city and equally gratifying views of the Cotswold (AONB) valleys to the south.

There is simply no other village like it on the outskirts of the city with such a wide range of local amenities and schooling.

This makes it a very popular place for families and those looking for an area with a rural feeling but still within walking distance of the city.

You will find every level of schooling in the local vicinity with three nurseries, two academy primary schools, Ralph Allen academy senior school and two independent schools in Prior Park and Monkton Combe, both with pre-prep, prep and senior schools.

Amenities   Locally there is an abundance of amenities with doctor's surgery, Bath BMI Clinic, dentist, pharmacy, highly reputed car garage, award winning delicatessen, fish and chip shop, hair salon, builders merchants, beauty therapist, bakery and Nisa mini-markets.

Nearby you will also find the excellent country club spa hotel Combe Grove Manor, which provides dining, gymnasium, spa treatments, swimming facilities and tennis courts both indoor and outdoor.

There is also a new development being built in the village called Mulberry Park. An award winning development of 700 new homes and currently becoming one of Bath's finest, new residential communities.

With a new primary school, children's nursery, cafe and state-of-the-art leisure and business facilities, with further amenities to follow, Mulberry Park will also build...
