Agent's Introduction
Nestled in the Lwyd Valley is this exceptionally handsome and impressive family home which simply exudes charm and character. With its origins dating from the 1860s and benefiting from two later extensions, Sunnybank oozes Victorian opulence with its high ceilings, original fireplaces and window shutters. The current owners have lovingly restored the property to create a fabulous period home with modern appeal, including double glazing which compliments the style of the house. The stunning kitchen/family room is perfect for modern family life or entertaining with space for comfortable seating and large dining table as well as a contemporary kitchen with Aga. Also on the ground floor are two beautifully presented reception rooms as well as a study with a broad bay window from which to enjoy the views, a large utility room, ground floor cloakroom and boot room.The splendid staircase leads to the first floor where simply beautiful views across the valley can be enjoyed, particularly from the original period picture window on the landing. Here on the first floor are five fabulously appointed bedrooms with the master benefiting from an additional adjoining room currently used as a dressing room, and two large bathrooms. Furthermore there has been no compromise on the attention to detail outside in the gardens. The discreet driveway, cleverly screened from the house by a range of shrubs and trees provides extensive parking and leads to the newly constructed double garage. The pleasant gardens which benefit from both lawned and terraced areas are a superb place to relax and appreciate the views across the wooded valley. And just as its name suggests the property and its gardens enjoys the sun throughout the day with its south easterly aspect!

It boasts many local amenities including a Doctors Practice, Dentist, Pharmacy, Post Office and local stores.
