Services
The water comes from a spring supply from the hillside and the water is filtered and passes through a UV tube.

The Aga is fuelled by lPG 50kg bottles collected when required (subject to a service contract agreement which the ingoing purchaser will need to agree), and the central heating is a mix of oil boiler, back boilers from 2 multi fuel stoves and the wind turbine heating supply.

The electricity comes from a 60ft wind turbine and small water turbine and is stored in a battery bank. The turbines work as follows, the 6kilo watt wind turbine charges the batteries then provides hot water and then goes to 3x 2kw electric heaters. The back-up generator is a 6kw petrol Honda.

Drainage is by way of a septic tank. The septic tank chambers were installed in the mid-80s and have never been tested or checked during the clients ownership. An ingoing purchaser must make their own investigations as to compliance and suitability.

The wind and water turbine were supplied by Turbine Services Ltd, now Border Hydro in Cockermouth. The whole house heating, electric, water supply wind and water turbine will need recommissioning and updating where necessary.
