Description

Pivot House is a highly sustainable eco home designed by London based Studio Bark architects under a paragraph 55 approval. The current owners have created a remarkable and highly efficient “off grid” and entirely self-sufficient home providing a unique property that would suit both families and couples alike. The accommodation comprises of 5 bedrooms, two with en suites, an open plan kitchen/dining space, sitting room, separate study/playroom, utility and family bathroom.

Benefitting from incredible privacy the property takes full advantage of this with full height glazing to many rooms to enjoy the fine views of the grounds and fields beyond. An inner courtyard space accessed from the hallways with bi-folding doors really opens up the flow of the property and could either be a perfect child friendly space or ideal for entertaining friends and family.

The gardens and grounds extend to about 9.5 acres and by backing onto open countryside give the feeling of further space. The attractive and fast flowing Blackwater river runs along the back of the garden and really conveys the peaceful surroundings on offer at Pivot House. Several specimen trees dotted throughout the grounds give the feeling of a park like setting which must be viewed to be fully appreciated.

From the sedum roof to the flint gabions, the property has been designed to be a visually impressive home which blends into the countryside surroundings and for any purchaser who is looking to enjoy a sustainable home, Pivot House provides one of the most exacting examples of an eco-home to have hit the market in Norfolk. EPC rated at “A” thanks to its array of photovoltaic panels providing enough energy to run the property in sunnier seasons with a backup generator providing the power should the panelling not have received enough charge. A log biomass boiler provides the heating for the house and a large amount of timber has accumulated for a new owner to have the benefit of.

Ample off road parking is provided thanks to the driveway with space for numerous vehicles as well as a garage with separate workshop space and plant room.

The property is being sold with the advantage of having no onward chain.
