ENERGY EFFICIENT: What truly elevates this property is the owners’ significant investment in renewable energy. Installed in 2023, the property benefits from a professionally fitted solar photovoltaic system complete with battery storage and solar boost technology, allowing energy to be generated, stored and intelligently redistributed throughout the home.
For a house of this size, achieving an EPC Rating: A is exceptional and represents a valuable long-term financial and environmental asset for the next owner. Marlswood benefits from a substantial 8.19kWp solar photovoltaic system installed in 2022/23 and fully MCS certified
The system comprises:
• 21 x Trina Solar 390W panels
• Total installed capacity: 8.19 kW
• Estimated annual generation: approx. 8,000 kWh
• Integrated battery storage system
• Solar boost technology (diverting surplus energy to heat hot water)
• NAPIT & NICEIC certified installation
This is a significantly larger-than-average domestic system, designed not only to generate power but to store surplus energy for evening use and optimise hot water production.
SELF CONTAINED ANNEXE OPTION: A key feature of the home is the flexible annexe to the ground floor, accessed internally via the cloakroom but also benefiting from its own independent entrance. The annexe includes a sitting room, kitchen, bedroom area and bathroom. It can operate entirely separately from the main house and can be locked off if required — making it ideal for multigenerational living, guest accommodation or potential additional income (subject to the usual consents).
LOCATION: One of the real highlights of this location is the immediate access to beautiful heathland and common walks right on your doorstep. The surrounding landscape offers miles of scenic routes ideal for dog walkers, runners or those simply looking to enjoy nature and open space — a lifestyle benefit rarely found so conveniently positioned.
Despite the peaceful feel, you remain well connected. Nearby Wimborne, Ferndown and Ringwood provide a range of shops, cafes and amenities, whilst everyday essentials are within easy reach locally.
Marlswood is a home designed for modern living, offering spacious and versatile accommodation that adapts effortlessly to family life, home working or multi-generational needs. With its energy-efficient credentials and immediate access to surrounding countryside, it perfectly balances comfort with an outdoor lifestyle — ideal for those seeking both convenience and a semi-rural feel.
