About Ferry Cottage

Ferry cottage is within sight of the river Ouse and adjacent to a Grade I listed building, the new house adheres to the roof ridge height of its dilapidated predecessor but makes use of a single-storey element to extend the living space into the site.

This new family home is constructed using brick and zinc this home has high levels of insulation and makes use of high-quality materials and finishes both inside and out.

The house is highly energy efficient using ground source heat pumps as well as photovoltaic panels to compliment them. A large plant room in the detached garage connects to the house via the gravel vehicle forecourt. The fabric of the house is incredibly well constructed and finished to ensure the optimum performance of the renewable energy sources.
