HIDDEN GEM Privately tucked away in a conservation area, just off the A49, Sunnymede is the home you never knew was there - and once seen, never forgotten.
Pull up along the open banjo shaped driveway, where there is ample parking in front and to the side of Sunnymede. Dating back to 1923, Sunnymede stands in the field where the solicitor who built the home played as a child, referring to it as his ‘sunny meadow‘.
Since extended, developed and redesigned, the current owners have made significant structural improvements, replacing the roof, updating the windows and creating a sensationally styled kitchen dining area that embraces the original archways which are a motif throughout the home.
?
LOVINGLY RESTORED The final touch to the restoration and remodeling includes a new portico entrance, the tiling replicating the Edwardian marble within the inner porch, creating a handsome first impression and providing practical shelter upon arrival home. Ahead, the first friendly curves of Sunnymede dress the front door.
Step into the inner porch, where there is a cloaks area for muddy boots and coats, before continuing through the re-creation stained-glass door into the entrance hall. Polished, hardwood flooring extends in a herringbone design, restored by the current owners and running through to the dining room and lounge.
?
HERITAGE TOUCHES Reclaimed from a 200 year old manor house in Weaverham, an intricate hand carved staircase turns up to the first floor. Ahead, secret storage ideal for cleaning essentials, lies hidden behind the clever panelling. There is also a WC refurbished within the last two years and featuring WC and wash basin.
Beneath the stairs in the cool, discover a handy, drinks store cupboard ideal for storing beer and wine.
Ahead, make your way through to the drawing room, where a cream wood-burning stove set within a marble fireplace imbues the room with a cosy warmth.
Silvery cream carpet coats the original wood block flooring underfoot, harmonising with the churned milk tones in the walls, where original picture rails and attractive coving add character.
?
ENTERTAINING HAVEN A duet of glazed, French doors draws daylight through the room, with chandelier lighting above adding an ambient touch in the evenings. Sociable and elegant by design, this is the consummate entertaining room.
Continue through the door opposite to the dining room, light and bright, doors again open up to the garden, blurring the boundaries between indoors and the garden beyond…ideal for summer soirees and barbecues. Step outside the French doors to discover a suntrap area, next to the pond.
?
DINE IN STYLE Seat ten around the table, illuminated by an opulent chandelier above. An oak fireplace, relocated from the lounge, and Farrow and Ball‘s Parma Grey create the perfect period feel. Perfect for festive feasting, formal dining and Sunday roasts.
Open the original, weighty door, through to the kitchen beyond, sensing the sublime ease of flow Sunnymede possesses.
Archways captivate the eye, an homage to the former loggia. Restructured and transformed in harmony with the heritage of the home, this designer inspired kitchen offers ample storage within its antique pine, contemporary painted units and central island.

OWNER QUOTE "It is the most fantastic kitchen for children. You can carry on activities such as arts and crafts and all be together."?
CAPTIVATING CURVES Chinese slate flooring, purchased in Somerset, takes on the ambient temperature of the Aga creating a cosy and welcoming atmosphere.

Granite and easy-to-clean sycamore form the worktops, with integrated dishwasher, and a chiller fridge and microwave space within the island. The central island is graced with deep drawers for pots and pans, and cutlery, with a handy suspended utensil rack above.
