Cave 2
Caves were man's first habitat and now their modern equivalent is making a comeback.
The basic principles used to construct this ecological cave house were that it should be both practical and affordable, utilising local eco materials and skills wherever possible.
Three bedrooms, two with ensuite, a good sized living area and a separate kitchen area makes this an ideal family home. This is a very attractive and, unlike many eco properties, competitively priced.
To reduce its ecological impact the house has been built from an existing ruin with high usage of recycled materials.
Setting this apart from other cave houses is its method of construction. Exterior walls are constructed from locally made hemp bricks. These bricks offer very high thermal insulation properties and their manufacture minimise their carbon footprint.
The roofs are supported by recycled, treated wooden beams over which is laid an insulating layer of hemp fibre/cement mixture capped by recycled roof tiles.
Windows and doors are made from natural fast growing pine and external windows are double glazed.
These fantastic properties woulld be idea for a large family or are ideal for living in one and renting out the other.
