The Rise of 'Wellness-Minded' Homes

The Rise of 'Wellness-Minded' Homes

Property trends… they come and go, but if there is one 'craze' that promises to buck this convention, it's the burgeoning popularity of eco-credentials in the home-buying equation.

In recent years, ‘wellness-minded’ buildings have certainly become ‘a thing’, with the incentives ranging from the cost-saving… to the health-improving.

In the UK, a growing number of properties are being built (and modernised) with this movement in mind, with the over-arching aim to be more eco-friendly, and more economical to run, going forward.

In these ever-challenging environmental and financial times, this newly-listed property in Maidenhead is a fitting example of how ‘green’ and ‘luxury’ are finally finding all-important alignment. 

Among it's most planet-saving innovations, are SCHUCO PV solar panels, which can help to significantly reduce energy consumption and costs. In addition, the property boasts Wunda under floor heating throughout, which not only runs at a lower temperature than radiators, but allows heat to be more evenly and efficiently distributed. Within all the rooms, Heatmiser touch screen control panels (thermostats) allow temperature to be regulated, while an Airflow heat recovery system helps to further minimise overheating problems.

In addition to its impressive eco-credentials,  the property boasts five bedrooms and five Villeroy and Boch bathrooms, an Italian designed kitchen, prime engineered oak ground-level flooring, an intelligent lighting system, double garage, an image security system and automated gates on entry.

With improvements in the way we heat our buildings and homes touted as being fundamental to the country’s ‘net zero by 2050’ goals, this property certainly seems to set a blueprint for what Maidenhead’s future housing might look like.

From a smaller-picture perspective, what it also represents is an attractive ‘forever home’, located just a stones-throw from Maidenhead's high speed commuter line, and the promise of future business, leisure and lifestyle opportunities that the town's ongoing re-development promises to yield.
