Description
The sense of arrival continues inside, where a glazed, tiled entrance porch opens through double doors into a wide hallway, beautifully anchored by flowing oak flooring and a striking bespoke oak staircase with glass balustrade, designed as a central feature of the home. Thoughtful practicality sits quietly alongside the design, with a generous downstairs WC complete with a wide basin and storage, along with double-door coat cupboards positioned neatly to one side.
The principal reception space lies to the right, where double glazed doors reveal a stunning double-aspect lounge bathed in natural light, centred around a stone effect gas fire and opening via French doors onto the garden. A charming secondary seating area nestles beneath the stairs with views over the garden, offering a more intimate retreat, while the continuous oak flooring leads effortlessly through to the impressive open-plan kitchen and dining space, illuminated by discreet ceiling spotlights.
Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the kitchen is superbly appointed with a substantial granite-topped island incorporating power points and an attached wooden breakfast bar. A three-oven AGA takes pride of place alongside integrated appliances including a coffee machine, dishwasher and full-height fridge freezer, while pull-out larders and considered storage enhance functionality. A stainless steel sink sits beneath a garden-facing window, and French doors allow the space to spill seamlessly outdoors. Adjoining rooms include a fully shelved pantry, a well-equipped utility with a large stainless steel sink and front window, and internal access to the double garage with electric door. A versatile ground floor room, currently arranged as a gym with mirrored wardrobes, is served by a nearby shower room, offering excellent potential as a ground floor sixth bedroom or guest suite.
Upstairs, the sense of space continues from a bright landing with a garden-facing window and room for a statement light fitting over the stairs. The principal suite is a luxurious retreat, comprising a generous bedroom, a walk-in wardrobe with fitted storage and its own window, and an elegant ensuite featuring both a large shower and a double-ended bath positioned beneath another garden view, all finished in porcelain tile. Two further bedrooms benefit from ensuite facilities, including rain-head showers, while additional bedrooms are all well proportioned and served by a stylish family bathroom. Eaves storage and a boarded, insulated attic offer excellent additional storage.
The South-facing rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a series of inviting outdoor spaces, blending lawn, slate paving, and timber decking. A pergola-covered BBQ area and separate gazebo seating area provide ideal entertaining zones, while a sunken hot tub area adds a sense of indulgence, ready to be enhanced further. The garden is framed by mature planting including a monkey puzzle tree, acer, ash and fir, with a raised planter adding structure along one boundary and gated side access providing convenience.
Completing the home is an impressive specification that includes CCTV, solar panels with battery storage, an EV charging point, outdoor power and water connections, and a double garage, all underscoring the meticulous refurbishment and extension completed between 2012 and 2015. Sunnimeade Farm is a home that effortlessly combines architectural quality, modern efficiency and a deeply inviting atmosphere, offering a rare opportunity to enjoy refined living within a beautifully balanced setting.
