Lite House is a 'Post and Beam' house built with a laminated timber frame, often known as 'glulam' which was manufactured in Germany and erected in two days by a team of 4 Germans on a engineer designed reinforced foundation constructed by our selves and sub contractors. The house is constructed totally from sustainable wood and has a low carbon footprint being of natural products only the outer walls breathe and allow for healthier living. Sitting in a unique quiet and very hard to obtain plot overlooking the beach and sea it has views totally unobstructed of only natural beach and seascape from the whole front elevation which is glass.
This eco house would suit many pursuits, bird watching, fishing, dog walking & swimming as it has private steps down to the promenade and also painting because of the fantastic light or even star gazing because of the low light pollution over the sea. Facing east the rising sun gives wonder each day and the moon shining over the sea is beautiful. Features of the house are underfloor heating and domestic hot water via an Air Source Heat Pump by Worcester Bosch, a rain water harvesting system that flushes the 4 lavatories with rain water and a self contained bio system for disposal of 'grey water'. The 250 square metres of living space is open plan for modern living but is also extremely versatile and can be adapted.
Currently it is arranged with open plan hall, living, dining, kitchen area, spare sitting room or bedroom 4, large utility room, large cloakroom/wet room. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms each with en-suites and an open plan landing/telescope room which could provide a separate room if required. A balcony on the front elevation is accessed from the telescope room or main bedroom. In addition in the roof is a galleried area for kids, or fun or book storage. A double garage and insulated Summer House completes the specification. To see the spectacular views from the whole frontage go to "Download Brochure".
Purpose built to enjoy the views which are 180 degrees the house sits up, about 4 or 5 metres, on a very stable cliff behind the promenade/sea defence. This height gives spectacular views with added privacy, it also means the site is free from any form of flash flooding. The shoreline is about a quarter mile from the pro menade and the beach is slowly growing, so the future safety from rising sea levels is predicted to be improving. A grassed cliff area, large front patio and grassed areas surround the house with boundary fencing giving a large amount of privacy.
