The Eider is a beautiful three-bedroom, two storey family home situated in rural Northumberland, designed to meet the needs of a young family. This project is a low energy house with sustainability being at the forefront of many of the design choices. Built from a timber frame, True North spent a lot of time making this as airtight as possible. It is well insulated and its air source heat pump, MVHR system, triple -glazing and under floor heating will help it stay warm and comfortable all year round. The exterior of the house stands out with its shou-sugi ban cladding which is complemented with local stonework, in-keeping with the local village. Inside there is the striking bespoke kitchen finished in Richlite, a recycled paper material used on the door fronts and worktops. This was manufactured and fitted by North & Co along with the oak window seats on the first floor which perfectly frame the stunning all-round views that this family will be able to enjoy for many years to come.
