Time to blow away your energy bills?

Wind power could be the key to cutting your bills and making your home greener and cleaner, says Julia Gray

B

EFORE he moved onward and upward, David Cameron had one on his London home and you can too, but domestic wind turbines aren’t a practical way of generating electricity for many of us.

The question is: could your home be suitable for one?

On the face of it, wind turbines are a good bet because the UK gets around 40% of the wind energy in Europe.

The advantages of having your own turbine are that you get free electricity (although you obviously have to pay for the turbine and its installation) and reduce your CO² emissions.

As long as your turbine complies, you can also earn money through the Government’s Feed-in Tariffs scheme (see www.energy savingtrust.org.uk). This will pay you not only for the electricity you generate and use, but also for any you export to the National Grid.

There are two types of domestic wind turbine: pole or mast-mounted ones, which are free-standing and usually around 5kW-6kW in power, and roof-mounted ones, which are smaller, at typically 1kW-2kW. Turbines either store the

SPARKY: An electricity producing windmill on a housing complex

electricity they generate in batteries, so it can be used on days when there’s little or no wind, or are connected to the National Grid.

Roof-mounted turbines are the cheapest option.

The Energy Saving Trust says that a domestic roof-mounted 1kW turbine will cost around £2,000, while a 6kW pole-mounted one will be around £22,500.

It estimates that annual maintenance will cost £100-£200, with a well-maintained

turbine lasting more than 20 years.

If the turbine has batteries, these will need to be replaced every six to 10 years on average.

Location is key. The important things are the speed and direction of the wind and what obstructions are in the way, such as trees and buildings. Because of this, wind turbines aren’t suitable for a lot of homes, but if you think yours might be a candidate, fitting an anemometer (wind gauge) for at least three months is the best way to find out how much wind it gets.

Most turbines need a minimum wind speed before they can start generating electricity, so check with the manufacturer before you invest in one. The ideal location is a smooth-topped hill that’s exposed and free from obstructions and turbulence.

Planning permission often isn’t required for a domestic wind turbine, but check with your local council first because there will be exceptions. If your home’s leasehold, you may need the permission of the freeholder, especially if you want to put the turbine on the roof.

CONVERT: David Cameron

Top Tip AS A general rule, it pays to seal natural stone tiles before you lay them, certainly before you grout them because the adhesive and grout will be hard to clean off if the tiles have an uneven surface.

Use a tile-sealer liquid (try QEP Tile Sealer, £12.98, B&Q), following the manufacturer’s instructions. If you’re sealing riven slate (or something similar), which has a ’grain’, apply the sealer in the direction of the grain.

Using too much sealer can leave white marks, so be careful not to, but if you have applied the sealer with the grain, the marks will be less noticeable and you may not need to remove the sealer and start again.

Manor from heaven!

by JANET TANSLEY

T

O The manor born? Well you could be, if you were lucky enough to acquire this beautiful period property for sale with Sutton Kersh at £950,000.

The Manor House in picturesque Church End, Hale Village, is steeped in history.

During the mid 1900s it was home to Peter Hesketh who was the last Lord of the Manor to reside in Hale.

And many guests have stayed at the property, including Sir John Betjemin, who wrote The Manor House’ in 1974. How’s that for a conversation piece with friends around the dinner table?!

The house enjoys established gardens that envelope the property as well as a private paddock and four out-buildings/cottages which are accessible via a long driveway from Within Way. The property offers spacious and well proportioned accommodation over several levels and enjoys a protected facade to the front elevation as well as an intricate and stunning reception hallway.

The main staircase is elegant in design and leads to a beautiful galleried landing, and there is a second staircase which also provides access to the upper floor accommodation via several interconnecting landings.

As well as an elegant drawing room there are several reception rooms, a snug, morning room, a bright and spacious kitchen, conservatory, further kitchenette, ground floor shower room, storage area and a garage.

The upper floors offer nine bedrooms, two bathrooms and an ancilliary laundry room.

A courtyard finished in cobbles and retained gardens envelope the property providing an ideal family environment.

It is thought the original property dates back to the mid 1600s although it was greatly extended during the 18th Century during which time the front stone facade was added.

The property is approached via a substantial front garden with a sweeping driveway and an impressive entrance door leads into the reception hall, itself protected under a grade II* status , charming in appearance and finished by master craftsmen. Intricate and carved wood panelling, decorative columns and detailed carvings lead up to a coved and panelled ceiling.

The floor is finished in ‘Minton’ tiling and there are decorative architraves to all the door casings.

CLASSY: The hallway is itself protected under a grade II* status, with a floor finished in ‘Minton’ tiling

ELEGANT: The lounge, the exterior and, inset right, the impressive entrance An elegant easy tread return staircase with barley twists, spindles and a carved balustrade leads to the upper floor. The staircase is finished with a carved and panelled string.

The dining room also boasts a marble fire surround with open chimney breast, as does the morning room which provides access to the conservatory and kitchenette.

As well as a storage room and

ground floor shower room, the ground floor accommodation includes a drawing room, stunning an elegant with a carved stone fireplace commissioned by Sir Peter Hesketh.

The main galleried landing leads to the master bedroom with a detailed fireplace with cast iron grate and stone hearth, finned radiator andimpressive coving, and bedroom two.

On the second floor are three

further bedrooms with original features, with four further bedrooms in two separate parts.

Outside is a garage and gardens which envelope the property, including a cobbled courtyard serving the rear of the property and providing a social and entertaining space, with decorative piers and wrought iron work surrounding it.

Steps lead up to the established gardens to the rear, side and front of the property, which boast extensive

areas of lawns, beautiful rockeries and a variety of established trees including three sycamores, two copper beech and two semi mature weeping willows. Further blossom trees and an established hedge finish these immaculately presented gardens.

The paddock has a working garden with potting sheds, green houses and cobbled walkways. ◆ Call Sutton Kersh on 0151 734 0666 or visit www.suttonkersh.co.uk

Time to look on the

It may be dull outside but the future's orange – at least, it is in interiors.

Gabrielle Fagan finds irresistible orange buys that you'll want to squeeze into your home

WOW FACTOR: Resort collection from JAB Anstoetz, from £92.90 per metre

B

E HONEST, if you could import a quick fix of sunshine into your home, wouldn’t you seize it with both hands?

Orange – the colour so associated with burning desert suns, ripe juicy fruit, and sultry, eastern settings – could just be the answer if you’re in the shivery doldrums thanks to the weather.

Colour experts credit this shade with conjuring feelings of welcome and a general sense of wellbeing, as well as encouraging creativity.

And if it doesn’t put a spring in your step, featuring this shade in your rooms will definitely enhance your decor street cred. Orange evokes the fashionable retro mood of the Fifties and Sixties when it was a key player.

“Orange is a great colour for the home and can help create a warm and inviting focal point in any room,” says Angela Whittaker, showroom manager at fabric specialists JAB Anstoetz.

“It works best in a stripe, plaid or pattern design or as an accent colour paired with soft neutrals such as beige, light grey, brown or cream.”

If you want to make a statement, use it as a big block of colour, or add contrasting colours with similar undertones such as bright pink or turquoise, she advises.

“Both work amazingly beside orange shades and can help you create an interesting and exciting colour scheme. If it’s all getting too hot for comfort, simply tone down the intensity by featuring some neutrals.”

Orange’s popularity reflects our increasing courage in embracing colour in our homes, says Paula Taylor, colour specialist at wallpaper company Graham & Brown.

“After many years of decorating our homes in 50 shades of beige, cream and taupe, we’re now letting our personalities shine through in decoration,” she says.

“Orange tones bring a warm glow and welcoming ambience to any room. It’s a versatile colour, so brighten a plain white room with a neon-bright shade or create a country look by teaming rustic browns with burnt orange.

“It’s also effective in a kitchen as it will look cheerful in morning light and relaxing and warm in the evening.

“Using orange will give the impression of colour-savvy confidence and as summer’s hottest shade it will banish an interiors winter hangover.”

Sunset rooms

ORANGE, especially the burnt variety, can be used to create a warm and cosy atmosphere and is perfect for restful rooms such as bedrooms.

Apricots and pale peaches are even friendlier and more soothing, and Dulux has a juicy collection in its Tailor Made Colour range, which can be mixed in stores. It starts from £14.95 a litre.

Transform the wall behind a bed with Little Greene's lush orange Marigold Absolute in a matt emulsion, which pairs brilliantly with its deep pink, Leather Absolute emulsion. Both are £30.50 for 2.5 litres.

Co-ordination is vital to this year's schemes which should have

a cohesive sophisticated feel, and using the colour as an accent in fabrics both patterned and plain is a winning approach.

The seashore-inspired designs in shades of blue and orange in the Resort collection from fabric specialists JAB Anstoetz are delightful and ideal for summer. Prices start from £92.90 per metre.

While you're on the blue theme, a Twist Blue carpet, £8.99 a square

metre from Carpetright, could be the perfect calming foil in an orange bedroom.

Orange addiction: Pretty orange flowers feature amongst the blooms on the Eden bedding collection, and it starts from £70 for a double bed set from House of Fraser.

Accessorise with a tubby orange Mushroom side lamp, £65, from Beautiful Modern Thing or just wing it with Rume's fun Plex cuckoo clock, in orange, £235.

Put name down for a new home

BUYERS who want to have their pick of new Redrow homes in Ormskirk are being urged to register their interest now.

Oakwood Park in Wigan Road is soon to launch and will offer a mix of two, three and four-bedroom homes from Redrow’s sought-after New Heritage Collection.

The new homes will be within walking distance of the town centre and close to shops, leisure facilities and schools.

Lesley Myers, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (Lancashire), said: “With something for everyone – including first time buyers, growing families and downsizers – we expect demand for the homes at Oakwood Park to be high.

“We’re already building a database of people who are interested and would urge anyone who’s looking for a new home in the Ormskirk area to register their interest now so we can keep them informed as we work towards releasing the first properties for sale.”

Redrow is one of the first developers to offer the Government-backed NewBuy initiative across its developments in England, and it will be available at Oakwood Park.

Lenders participating in the scheme will provide a 90-95% mortgage for buyers who meet their qualifying criteria; the lenders will be protected by a mortgage indemnity guarantee (MIG) jointly funded by Redrow and the Government.

“It’s not just first time buyers who can benefit from NewBuy; those who want to climb the property ladder may also be able to use the scheme to help them access competitive interest rates even if they haven’t got a large cash sum to put down as a deposit,” Lesley added.

Inspired by the architecture of the Arts and Crafts era, the homes at Oakwood Park combine the charm and character of ‘period’ properties, with the style and convenience of being brand new.

NewBuy could be the difference between buying an older property that’s in need of lots of repairs and modernisation and buying a beautiful brand new home,” Lesley explained. ◆ To register your interest in the new homes at Oakwood Park, call 01695 229295 or log on to www.redrow.co.uk/oak.

... to outside

Thinking of adding fish to your pond? Hannah Stephenson on how to give them the best start in their new home

I

F YOU’VE ever walked past an ornamental lake and marvelled at the fish in the water, perhaps it’s time to introduce some fish into your own pond.

While water in a garden can create an air of peace and tranquillity, fish can provide extra character and movement, and will quickly learn to respond to their owners, although it isn’t a great idea to tame them.

However, you can’t just pick out a pretty one from an aquatic centre and take it home and hope for the best. There are several important considerations before you begin.

Firstly, the pond needs to be of an adequate size to accommodate the fish and give them the best chance of survival. The rule of thumb is to allow 1cm of fish body length for every 60 sq cm of pond surface.

The pool also needs an area at least 75-110cm (30-39in) deep which will remain ice-free, giving the fish a resting place in winter. If you’re hoping to keep koi carp, this area will need to be deeper – around 1.2m (4ft).

The most obvious choice for a small pond is the common goldfish.

Go to a reputable aquatics centre and select fish which are small and compact, look alert and active, are swimming well and not looking listless or unhealthy. Avoid those with torn fins, fluffy growths or blood stains on them.

More exotic goldfish, such as twintails and fantails, do better in aquariums rather than ponds. Golden orfe are surface swimmers and need a pond at least 3m (10ft) long as they may jump out of smaller ponds if startled. They make excellent display fish, but grow quite large so are not suitable for smaller pools. Other suitable fish for ponds include shubunkins

Best Of The Bunch Dicentra spectabilis THESE elegant perennials with fern-like leaves and heart-shaped blooms on arching stems are extremely easy to grow and flower early, peaking in May. The taller types make good planting companions with mossy saxifrages, ivies and hellebores, while other good plant partners include hardy geraniums and hostas, or other plants providing interest later in the season.

Smaller dicentras can be grown with foxgloves, tall campanulas and astilbes. They will thrive in sun or shade

and in most soils but they do best in sheltered spots in semi shade and a moist soil.

If you keep them out of the midday sun and keep the ground moist, you may extend the flowering season into the summer. D. spectabilis, which is widely available, will grow up to 90cm (3ft) tall, producing arching sprays of pink flowers, while ’Alba’ is shorter, at 70cm (28in), with ivory white flowers.

The more compact dicentras, growing up to 45cm (18in) high, include “Snowflakes” and “Bacchanal”.

sure that your garden is secure, as large or well-coloured specimens are extremely valuable.

When you are creating a new pond, make sure the plants are established and the water is clear and balanced before introducing any fish. A six-month period will allow the water plants to grow, providing some shade and a few hiding places, while the oxygenating plants have time to become established.

Floating foliage will give fish shade and cover from herons and other predators, while all the plants in and around the edges of the pond take up fish waste matter with their roots and help to keep the water in good condition.

Suitable plants for ponds include iris, nymphaea, Acorus calamus and Butomus umbellatus. Canadian pondweed is good for the water if you have fish, as it’s an evergreen which keeps oxygenating the pond

all year round and you don’t need to plant it. Bunches are sold weighted down at one end and will root into the debris which builds up in the bottom. However, it is invasive and will need to be thinned out several times in the summer to stop it taking over.

Let fish acclimatise to the water gradually. It’s a good idea to let them float in a plastic bag on the surface for an hour until the water adjusts to pond temperature and

Things to do this week ● Deadhead violas and pansies to prolong flowering. ● Guard plants against slugs and snails, which will feast on the young shoots of flowering plants and vegetables. ● Pinch out the growing tips of dahlias to encourage branching. ● Cut back penstemon.

Doing this late in the season means that the new growth will be less likely to be damaged by frost. ● Repot greenhouse tomatoes when they outgrow their pots and pinch out sideshoots, which can then be treated as cuttings. ● If you haven’t yet done it, plant up your hanging baskets but keep them sheltered at night if frost is forecast. ● Continue to harvest

Oriental greens, first new potatoes and radishes. ● Remove raspberry suckers in your rows of raspberries. ● Keep onions well watered or the bulbs will stop swelling. ● Hoe between vegetable rows to keep down weeds. ● Plant out greenhouse-raised leeks, broad beans, peas and lettuces. ● Continue to remove faded flowerheads from daffodils but don’t cut down the foliage until at least six weeks after deadheading. ● In the greenhouse, remove male flowers from cucumber plants before they open. Male flowers don’t have a small swelling at their base, whereas female flowers do.

Good enough to eat Creating a herb garden

COLOURFUL: A shubunkin fish, left, and a stunning example of a beautifully landscaped pond complete with Koi then open the bag and let them swim out.

Pond fish are cold blooded and the amount of food they need depends upon their activity, which is closely tied to the water temperature.

Goldfish and koi become very sluggish below 8-10°C and it is generally best not to feed them when daytime temperatures fall below 10°C or if there is any night-time ice on the pond.

Feeding at too low a temperature can result in food being uneaten and polluting the water.

Even when it is mild enough, feed only lightly until warmer weather arrives. Special foods are available for cool weather feeding that are more readily digested. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations on when to feed and use a pool thermometer if necessary to monitor water temperature.

Feeding during the milder days of autumn can help to build fish up for their winter “down time”, and feeding in the warmer days of spring will help them to recover from the winter. When really cold weather finally arrives, it is best to stop feeding altogether.

Youngsters put down roots at Blues’ ex-stamping ground BELLWAY Homes invited children from Runnymede St Edward’s School, to plant a tree at their development at Bellefield, Everton’s former training ground.

While at the development, the pupils enjoyed a private tour of the site, including a browse around the two show homes and a health and safety talk from site manager Tony Charnock.

YOU don’t need masses of space to grow a selection of herbs which will add flavour to your meals virtually all year round, but you will have to make sure that the herbs you grow together will have the same growing requirements.

Many herbs don’t like the moisture-retentive rich soil preferred by vegetables, so you may want to give these a separate space, in the form of a herb wheel or simply some large pots in which they will thrive in the right conditions.

Not all herbs like full sun.

Thyme, sage, rosemary, French tarragon and oregano like it hot; rocket, sorrel, mizuna, mustard, parsley and chervil prefer partial shade.

Parsley prefers cool light shade, chives thrive in rich soil, while mint prefers plenty of moisture.

Some are short-lived and need successional sowing through the season, including basil, coriander and parsley, while others will survive for a long time in a pot, such as marjoram, mint, chives, sage and thyme.

OLLOWING on from the successful launch of its new improved website, housebuilder Miller Homes has launched a mobile version of the site to provide house hunters with even greater access to its properties.

The mobile version, which is compatible with all smart phones, is an optimised version of the new website featuring key search functions and allowing house hunters to find available properties from Miller Homes while on the move.

Chris Endsor, chief executive of Miller Homes, said: “Our new website has proved extremely popular since its launch last month, and we’re delighted that we can now complement this further with the introduction of a mobile version of the site.

“As a customer-focussed developer, we recognise the importance of providing a comprehensive and quality level of service that meets the needs of potential buyers and allows them to access the information that they need quickly and easily. With the incredible growth in the number of people accessing information from smart phones and tablets over the last few years, creating a mobile version of the site became a key

element of our online development strategy, and we’re delighted to see it go live.”

He added: “We’re confident that providing both a website with greater online functionality and a mobile version for people on the move will make finding the home of your dreams easier than ever before.”

In the first fortnight of the website’s launch, 30 appointments were made on Miller Homes’ new online booking system – two of which resulted in reservations.

Visitors to the website have been 16% higher, compared to the average number of daily visitors in 2011. Plus, the number of people who have registered each day has

risen by 8.9% in comparison with the average number of registrants per day in 2011. ● For further information on Miller Homes’ Scholars Way development in St Helens, visit the sales centre, open Thursday to Monday, 10.30am to 5.30pm; telephone 0800 840 8532, or log on to www.millerhomes.co.uk.

Thousands of pounds towards a new home in liverpool UP to £7,500 worth of help makes owning one of Compendium Living’s stylish new homes in Netherley easier to achieve.

The developers can contribute 5% of the purchase price towards each customer’s deposit, making the two and three-bedroom homes currently available at Mill Brook as affordable as they are desirable.

With prices from £104,995 to £149,995, this help is worth at least £5,250 to individual customers and could be worth as much as £7,500.

Fields sales manager Anne-Marie O’Doherty said: “Our help is worth, quite literally, thousands of pounds. At a time when people are setting up home, often for the first time, this level of contribution could make all the difference.

“Potential home owners simply need to visit us and talk through the options with our friendly sales advisor.”

Whilst the gift of a 5% deposit will help those whose savings don’t quite stretch to the amount needed to secure a mortgage, Compendium Living can also help those who already own a property but want to trade up to something bigger.

“Our Helping Hands scheme takes care of valuations and marketing of a customer’s existing property and there are no estate agent’s fees to pay. It’s just another of the ways in which we can help people to save time, money and stress when they are moving home. These and other help schemes can all be explained in one visit to our sales centre off Wood Lane,” Anne-Marie added.

Mill Brook boasts all the benefits of being close to the city centre, which is easily accessible by public transport. However, it also enjoys the advantages of being located in a quiet suburb with a choice of schools, two health centres, leisure facilities, parks and shops in the area. Halewood Triangle Country Park offers an oasis of calm nearby and there are two golf courses and a leisure centre within close proximity.

For those who work further afield there’s good commuter access to Manchester, St Helens and other North West towns.

Mill Brook features a stylish range of properties to suit a variety of purchasers. The appealing collection of two, three and four bedroom designs have already proved popular with young professionals and families who are keen to set up home in the development which will eventually comprise 71 properties.
