Broadway sits within the Cotswolds National Landscape, and its High Street is a conservation area lined with honey-coloured limestone buildings, many of them listed. Air conditioning is perfectly possible here. The work just has to be invisible from the street and gentle on the stonework.
Hiding the outdoor unit
In the conservation area, an outdoor unit can't face a road. Rear gardens, courtyards, outbuildings and the space behind a low garden wall are the usual spots. A louvred screen can soften the look, but it must leave enough space around the unit for air to flow, or the system won't run efficiently.
Stone walls and listed cottages
Listed buildings need listed building consent before any work. On Cotswold stone, the installer should drill through mortar joints rather than the stone wherever possible, and keep pipework outside to a minimum, often by running it internally through a loft or cupboard.
Holiday lets and second homes
Broadway has many holiday lets, and guests increasingly expect bedrooms to be cool in summer. Many current units can be controlled from a phone app, so you can pre-cool rooms before guests arrive or check that nothing has been left running. Installation can be booked between stays.
Questions from Broadway homeowners
Can I control the air conditioning in my holiday let remotely?
Many current models have Wi-Fi control, either built in or as an add-on. You can switch rooms on or off and set temperatures from a phone app. Mention it to the installer so a suitable model is quoted.
Can the outdoor unit be hidden behind a screen?
Yes, with the right screen. It needs enough open area and clearance for the unit to breathe. A solid box will make it inefficient and noisy. The installer can advise on distances for the specific model.
