Description

Sunny Mount has been beautifully refurbished in the highest of standards to provide a delightful, spacious, three-bedroomed, family home which is superbly appointed throughout whilst retaining many of the property's original features.

Some refurbishment works have been commenced to Abraham Heights to include the installation of sealed unit double glazed windows and oil fired central heating but the property now lends itself to further improvements and renovations to a new purchaser's individual taste. This property also retains much of its original character and charm to include a Minton tile floor to the hall and briefly comprises entrance porch, reception hall, sitting room, dining room, kitchen (unfitted), breakfast room, rear porch and cloakroom. At first floor level three double bedrooms, nursery or box room and bathroom.

Outside, the elevated site from which there are extensive views extends to about 2.24 acres or thereabouts and comprises formal and informal gardens and lawns with mature trees etc., grass paddock and various outbuildings including a brick and tile detached garage/workshop/store of about 155sq.m.

Likely to be of interest to an extended family or developers and builders seeking an interesting project the property will also appeal to private individuals with equestrian or hobby farming interest and an early viewing is essential.
