Description

Sunnybrow embraces it's Victorian elegance and radiates the grandeur and proportions of a bygone age. Thanks to it's southerly aspect, high ceilings and full length original wooden sash windows all of the rooms are light and spacious. Although recently renovated many of the rooms retain period features including corniced ceilings, picture rails and marble fireplaces. This exqusite period property offers extremely well proportioned accomodation and would make a lovely family home.

Accomodation

Entrance is through a frosted glazed front door into an entrance lobby with high ceiling and Victorian tiled flooring which leads through another frosted glazed door into a large   L-shaped hall. The first impression is one of Victorian grandeur due to the high corniced ceiling and mouldings. The hall has doors leading off to all the principal ground floor rooms with a staircase leading to the first floor landing and benefits from a double panelled radiator. To the right is the door to the delightfully bright and spacious sitting room featuring a high corniced ceiling with ceiling rose and three original wooden floor to ceiling sash windows overlooking the enclosed garden. But without doubt the focal point has to be the original exquisite marble fire surround with the added benefit of a recently installed multifuel burner. There is also a single panel radiator, satellite TV point and Virgin telephone point. To the left of the fireplace is a glazed door which leads to a beautiful sunny conservatory featuring original windows, fully tiled floor and a part glazed door leading to the garden. Like the sitting room the dining room has a high corniced ceiling with a floor to ceiling wooden sash window overlooking the garden and features an original marble fire surround.
