Reducing the impact of the farmhouse

Orchard Farmhouse is currently heated by oil central heating and wood in a wood burner and in an open fire.  We are considering installing a ground source heat pump for space heating.  We are also considering updating the Rayburn range so that it runs on wood.

We have applied for planning permission to install photovoltaics (solar panels) for electricity.  The installation will be discreet so that the listed building is not impaired.
