'I was hoping to find something with low energy bills, which was comfortable and suitable for ageing. I pay a direct debit of £45 a month for heating and gas. It heats up very quickly and, being of an older generation, I tend to wear jumpers in winter and am thrifty. I put a curtain at the bottom of the stairs to keep the heat in. In summer it gets quite warm on the first floor but you can cool it down by opening windows. People are buoyed up by living in these houses - they are really different.'
