Underfloor heating is proving to be the salvation of some of Britain’s most picturesque and far-flung holiday homes.
With their authentic stone walls and high ceilings, demand is high for converted farmhouses, vicarages and other buildings from a bygone age but often potential buyers are put off by the prospect of having to tend a massive fireplace every night to keep warm.
This is where underfloor heating systems come in. Developers and estate agents are increasingly turning to underfloor heating to make remote cottages as cosy as the most modern city flat.
The benefits are clear as well as providing efficient and cost-effective heating, it is unobtrusive, which is perfect for maintaining the period or country feel that makes these homes so attractive to buyers looking to get away from it all. A quick look at property websites specialising in these sort of getaways reveals how important underfloor heating is in achieving a modern comfortable environment in an old-fashioned setting.
