Details

It's hard to describe the accommodation and outbuildings on offer at Sunnywood House.  There is simply so much to take in and the possibilities are numerous for those with the imagination to make this beautiful grade II listed house their home.

Our clients have enjoyed the combination of the space, character and outdoor lifestyle afforded by this unique property, however, it is now time for another family to call it their own.

Full of character features, the property displays beams and roof trusses, exposed stone work, mullions and fireplaces, all in keeping with what one would expect from a house of this era.

The outdoors are a delight, and at the same time will get your imagination running wild with what you could achieve with the combination of the outbuildings, rear courtyard and paddock.   There are two useful store rooms, a place for a ride on mower, and two former stables.

The land at the front of the property totals around 0.5 of an acre and is a combination of a greenbelt paddock with garden areas at the side with mature plantings. Perfect for young families to play outdoors, and perhaps suited to someone who would like a pony or some other livestock.  For our clients it's simply been joyous to own a little piece of the countryside.

We could list the accommodation on offer, but we think you'll appreciate it more by perusing our floorplan, taking our video tour and looking over our 3D tour in these particulars.

Some of the highlights include the lovely lounge with feature Inglenook fireplace, the expansive living kitchen and dining room, the self-contained main bedroom and barn library with home office wing (which could be a place to have a relative living independently as our clients have in the past), and the top floor bedrooms from which to enjoy the outlook across the local fields.

The kitchen has an attractive range of modern fitted units with granite effect worktops, integrated cooking appliances and a dishwasher.  This room flows into the neighbouring sitting room which has additional cabinets and informal dining by way of a breakfast bar, and in turn this flows into the beautiful formal dining room which has a lovely fireplace.  There is an adjoining useful side boot room/utility and ground floor w.c.

The property has keeps some secrets too.  A cellar located off the pantry for instance, and what we have called a side room which is located behind the lounge and opens onto the rear courtyard.

We are sure you'll be very excited about the barn library on the first floor - it could be a games room, entertaining space or work from home space, especially as it has a home office area beyond.  Off the home office is a small rear courtyard backing onto the local fields.

There really is so much to explore, this delightful character property is well worthy of a personal viewing.

Viewings are by appointment with our Honley office.
