Rural living – finding a property with a good energy rating. 

EPC reports are becoming increasingly important to buyers. They offer a guide to the costs you could expect to heat your home and they are rated from A – G. Most new builds can boast a B or even sometimes an A rating but not everyone is looking for this type of home.

Older properties offer larger plots providing greater outdoor space and opportunities to improve a home. When buying in a village location purchasers often expect to have to pay more to run a home. Many village homes may not have mains gas or may be in a conservation area limiting the type of construction and upgrades that can be done.

If you are looking to live in the heart of a village and combine outside space and energy efficiency, then The Maples in Harby might be the property for you.

It stands out as it offers electricity generated using solar panels, a multifuel stove that can supply heating and hot water, and a conventional oil-fired boiler. This gives it an overall EPC rating of a C which for a property built in the 1980’s is rare.

Harby offers excellent walking routes as it is close to Jubilee Woods running along to Belvoir Castle and the Nottingham to Grantham Canal runs through the village. The village has a Primary School, Pub, village shop, café and garage as well as a busy village hall with lots of events, groups and classes for the community.

This detached home is looking for the next family to benefit from the lovely garden and convenient location with ample parking – https://www.belvoir.co.uk/melton-mowbray-estate-agents/property/detached-house-for-sale-harby-le14-P590-42/
