Sunnyside has 12 acres of land and offers exceptional views over the surrounding countryside. The rural location also provides nearby bridle paths to explore the area.
There is a 17x4om outdoor school with sand and rubber surface, plus paddocks with a field shelter. Beyond the house are fruit trees and space for a smallholding; the current owners have enjoyed keeping pigs and sheep at the property.
The extensive equestrian facilities include a modern barn with internal stabling for seven horses. Each stable is spacious and well ventilated.
The home has been designed and built by the current owners, with various sheltered terraced areas next to the house. Other key features of the outside space include a pizza oven, small swimming pool and recessed trampoline.
The house has natural oak beams, and fittings, exposed stonework, calming neutral colours throughout and a warm natural slate floor, thanks to underfloor heating, across much of the downstairs, as shown below in the kitchen/breakfast room.
As well as five generous double bedrooms — three of which are en-suite and two of which have balconies — the property boasts a home gym/cinema room.
