green dreams

March 02, 2010

this restored six-bedroom farmhouse was recently bought for £4 million by a lucky lottery winner couple. the mansion is now almost completely carbon neutral and runs on just 10 per cent of the energy a normal household needs.

the 400-year-old dairy farm buildings are completely airtight and feature a "solar park" where heat from the sun is captured in 20 panels. the energy is stored in rocks in the ground and distributed to underfloor heating in the house and the swimming pool. The buildings also have a very low humidity level to stop dust mites, smells and condensation.

like all the green features weren't enough to fall in love with this dream house, see below some of the eco-palace interior design, oh my!
