Other Turn up for house tours at given times

Sue welcomes you to her 1900ish home in Ewyas Harold. It's a mixture of stone and single skin brick with a slate roof and 2007 extension.

Modifications:

Dry lining insulation, wood pellet boiler, hot water panels, solar panels, double glazing.

Motivation to retrofit:

For comfort and to reduce carbon footprint.

Approximate cost:

The recent solar PV panels cost £6k. Other changes were made as part of major improvements so it's difficult to specify costs.

Benefits:

Persistent dampness eliminated and comfort.
