Armidale House

Armidale House

We have been activists for many years. This home – to be our last home – was a tiny 1903 Victorian house. We had bought some German double glazed sliding doors and to use them, we needed to raise the roof. We put in underfloor heating; cork tiles are the most energy efficient covering. We bought an induction stove and airfryer to avoid gas, ditto electric hot water heaters x two to save on heating requirements. Double glazed windows were installed throughout; including the new Bay Window. We adapted Doubled French Doors which created a barried to cold, along with heavy block-out curtains. We have installed approximately 33 panels, not including the one that is by the back gate or the front gate.
We added the conservatory and another bathroom/study/single bedroom. The outside sinks (recycled) sit beside an outside shower, with a disabled ramp going down to the garden. All steps have a mini-ramp at the base of each (only 1 step from front door).
