Take 5 | Homes with Air Conditioning
As summers in the UK continue to break temperature records, air conditioning is becoming an increasingly sought-after feature for many homeowners. Once rare in properties across the UK, cooling systems are now gaining popularity as buyers prioritise year-round comfort.
Here, we’re found five homes for sale that already have air conditioning installed – offering a cool escape from the heat and a smart investment for the future.
Blue House
Saltwood, Kent
This six-bedroom home is an impressive feat in uniting two worlds. The current owners have more than doubled the house’s square footage by adding a striking contemporary barn-style extension onto a period farmhouse. The result is a home that has the charms of an older property – including exposed beams and original brickwork – alongside slick, modern design. The cherry on the cake is the EPC ‘B’ Rating, and all the modern conveniences you could hope for – including air conditioning and underfloor heating throughout.
Staunton Park
Staunton-On-Arrow, Herefordshire
Staunton Park is a magnificent period country house that pairs timeless architecture with thoughtful modern upgrades. As part of their improvement works, the current owners have added air conditioning and 20 solar panels, making this historic home ready for today’s warmer summers.
Hereford Road
Hereford Road, London
Set across five beautifully refurbished floors, this stunning Grade II listed home is designed for easy living. Spend sunny afternoons in the large private garden before retreating indoors, where all five bedrooms are fitted with air conditioning offering a welcome escape from the heat.
Elystan Place
Chelsea, London
Found on a quiet tree-lined street just off the renowned Chelsea Green is this spectacular four-bedroom home. Venture beyond the original period façade and you’ll find a new home that has been entirely redeveloped by award-winning Jubilee Partners. Every design and amenity have been carefully considered here, including having air conditioning in every room.
Birchcroft
Ascot, Berkshire
This three-bedroom penthouse sits on the second floor of this development and has everything you could want from a turnkey home – from its roof terrace and communal gardens to the bespoke interiors. The whole building is built with modern technology, including mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR), underfloor heating, and electric car charging. The apartment has air conditioning throughout.
