Owners thoughts
Sunnybank is a very special place. With almost no noise except the sound of birdsong and wind through the trees it would be hard to find a more peaceful location. It s secluded rather than isolated though, being conveniently located for access to local services and all the major supermarkets deliver here.
Property description
The front door opens into a light hallway running the rear of the property with a door leading to a handy WC and two staircases leading up to the bedrooms in each wing. The kitchen/dining room is a fabulous room with a combination of newly installed cupboards, Welsh slate worktops and island and traditional free-standing units and quarry tiled flooring. The dining area has wood flooring, French doors leading out onto the deck and large windows taking full advantage of views onto the wonderful surroundings. From the kitchen a door leads through into the living room situated in the heart of the original stone cottage featuring an inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove and a French door leading out onto the deck. To the end of the ground floor is a study or snug with wood-burning stove leading into an airy sun room with sliding patio doors on three sides enabling enjoyment of the outdoors whatever the weather.
From the hallway the first set of stairs lead up to two double bedrooms with built in wardrobes and a contemporary family bathroom with stylish vanity unit, bath, and walk-in power shower. Off the second set of stairs there are two further double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and cupboard space, a separate dressing area and a compact shower room/WC. All the bedrooms benefit from fantastic views across the garden and woodland surrounding the property.
Gardens and grounds
Sunnybank sits in approximately 1.2 acres of garden and woodland with access from the nearest road via a tarmac track. To the front of the property is a substantial raised timber deck which, with access from all the ground floor rooms, significantly extends the living space into the outdoors. It s an ideal space for entertaining and enjoying the views, wildlife and clear skies at night. The current owners have cleared pathways, rebuilt retaining walls and erected a hide from which to observe the abundance of wildlife that visits and lives within the grounds and surrounding woodland. To the side is a pond and pergola over a shaded patio area, the lower levels are tiered and planted with a wide range of mature plants and shrubs, and a natural pond at the bottom overlooked by a decked area is perfectly placed to enjoy the tranquility.
Detached workshop, car port and utility
Across the driveway is a detached building with light and power containing a workshop with double doors to the front and door from the car port. At the rear, a separate door leads to a recently-updated utility room with space and plumbing for appliances, storage cupboards and worktop.
Detached gym
Under the main house are two externally-accessed rooms currently used as a home gym. Windows to the front overlook the gardens and there are glazed doors at either end. Having light and power, the flexible space could be used as a home office or studio.
Detached studio
Accessed from a fork in the track, the detached timber-clad studio sits above the main property and has parking for multiple vehicles. The property has a small patio area to the front and a door leads into an open plan living space with separate shower room and to stairs leading up to a mezzanine level. There is a great deal of potential to improve the existing dwelling by adding a kitchenette or completely rebuilding a new dwelling, subject to all the necessary permissions being obtained.
