A five-bedroom Victorian terraced house on Cloncurry Street in Fulham is currently on the market for £3.5 million after being retrofitted to improve its energy efficiency. The owners collaborated with Hudson Architects to implement Passivhaus technology, making the three-story house airtight and highly insulated.
The retrofit included air filtering, a heat recovery system, and underfloor heating, all designed to reduce energy consumption and save money on bills for the new owner. The house has been upgraded while preserving period details and adding modern touches like herringbone wood flooring and bespoke joinery in the bedrooms.
Special thermally broken Crittal doors open onto a 37-foot back garden, adding to the appeal of this eco-conscious home in a desirable location. Savills Fulham head Emma Stead expects the property to attract interest from families looking for a more sustainable living space.
Retrofits are crucial in reducing energy consumption and costs in millions of drafty homes across the UK. Former net zero tsar Chris Skidmore emphasizes the importance of improving home insulation to save money and decrease reliance on fossil fuels. The Fulham house serves as an excellent example of how older properties can be successfully retrofitted to become energy efficient and an attractive selling point.
