Lydart Farm, near Monmouth and overlooking the lovely Trothy Valley, is what the Time Team refer to as 'high status'. The three-storey building is Grade 1 listed, very rare for a private house, it is built on the living rock, has an inside chapel and the lower walls are six feet thick bearing witness to the need for protection in the 15th Century when they were erected.
Natural Warmth of Darlington has installed a NIBE Fighter 2005 Air to water heat pump to be docked with the old oil-fired boiler. The heat pump unit has been placed unobtrusively to the right hand side of the house and fitting was simple and caused very little disruption.
Designed and made in Sweden where, despite much lower outside air temperatures than ours, air/water heat pumps have been in general use for many years, the NIBE system is powerful, economical and eco friendly.
