The first phase of the project involved providing the existing property with a new contemporary kitchen, family bathroom and en suite as well as basic upgrading of the insulation, damp proofing and replacement double glazed timber sash & case windows..

Solar panels were mounted in the garden behind a planted berm to produce typically 70% of the annual hot water requirements. A ground source heat pump was installed with two pipe loops buried in the garden and is the energy efficient means of heating. This was one of the first installations of a Worcester Bosch heat pump in Scotland.

The second phase of the project is a garden room extension to replace part of the existing utility room to the rear and will create a light-filled additional living space with french doors opening directly into the garden.
