Norfolk Passivhaus for sale
The prospect to purchase a Passivhaus home in the UK is still a rarity, so we are happy to share this opportunity. A pair of semi-detached homes in a picturesque Norfolk Broads village are being built for market sale and aiming for Passivhaus certification. These houses are looking for owners!

Designed by PHT members Anne Thorne Architects & Passivhaus Homes, the high-performance new build utilises the PH15 timber frame kit and will offer the gold standard of building comfort combined with low fuel bills and maintenance costs.
The site already had planning consent obtained by another developer, which was not sensitive or attractive to the local context. My partner and I bought the site in the hope we could design something better for the village, better for inhabitants and better for the environment. Our design is a traditional asymmetrical end gable building, of rendered walls & pantiled roofs, L- shaped, enclosing small south facing courtyards and gardens.
Fran Bradshaw, Anne Thorne Architects

The timber framers are currently at work on site. Purchasers may buy the shell scheme and oversee the finishing stage. Customisation allows buyers to put their own stamp on the project and make the home their own, with as much or as little help from Anne Thorne Architects as they desire.

Northeast of Norwich, the 3-bed houses are 10 minutes' walk from Hickling Broad, with seaside and sandy beach 3 miles away. This is the first certified Passivhaus for contractors of the scheme - Sam Layte & Stuart MacCallum and friends.
