Transforming a cold, dark terraced house in Oxford into a cosy, warm home
The Nicholson family, with their two boys, live in a 1960s end-terrace house in a small Oxford development.
Their home used to be cold and dark, and they often huddled in the tiny kitchen—the warmest room in the house. With a growing family and a chilly home, they decided to undertake a deep retrofit.
Now, thanks to a range of energy-saving measures, they not only enjoy a comfortable, warm home but also export energy back to the grid on sunny days. Best of all, they have lower bills and a truly cosy living space.
“Our home is now so nice and cosy. You almost get used to it, and it feels like a regular home – until other people visit. Then they say, ‘Wow, it’s so warm! Do you really not have any heating on?’”
Joanne Bowlt, homeowner
