A historic Victorian terraced house in Fulham has recently undergone a comprehensive retrofit to reduce its energy consumption and is now on the market for £3.5 million. The current owners worked with Hudson Architects to incorporate Passivhaus technology into the home, resulting in a highly insulated and airtight three-storey property on Cloncurry Street.
The retrofitting process included the installation of air filtering, heat recovery systems, and underfloor heating, providing guilt-free enjoyment for future owners. Period details have been preserved, including herringbone wood flooring in the front of the house and bespoke joinery in all the bedrooms. Special thermally broken Crittal doors open onto a 37-foot back garden.
Emma Stead, head of Savills Fulham, notes that it is uncommon to see retrofitted homes on the market in Fulham and expects a good level of interest in this eco-conscious property. With millions of drafty homes across the UK requiring retrofitting to improve energy efficiency, this home on Cloncurry Street serves as an example of how older properties can be made more sustainable while preserving their character.
Chris Skidmore, the Government’s former net zero tsar, acknowledges that improving energy insulation in homes is crucial for reducing demand for fossil fuels and saving money on bills. Retrofitting historic homes can be a sustainable solution and an attractive selling point for potential buyers looking for eco-friendly properties in desirable locations.
