Description

A BEAUTIFULLY RESTORED VICTORIAN HOME WITH A STORY TO TELL

Once believed to be the station master’s house for the nearby line, Sunnyleigh is a beautifully restored Victorian home filled with warmth, charm, and history. Lovingly renovated by its current owners, it blends classic period features with considered modern updates—from intricate cornicing and ceiling roses to sleek underfloor heating and bespoke cabinetry.

For those seeking character, convenience, and a truly special family setting, Sunnyleigh offers something rare: a home with heart, heritage, and soul.

GROUND FLOOR
Step through the stained-glass front door into a bright and welcoming entrance hall, where decorative Victorian-style tiling and high ceilings set a graceful tone. A sense of light and openness flows throughout the home.

LOUNGE
To the left, the main living room has been thoughtfully designed to feel warm, elegant and inviting. A gas fire with a marble surround provides a cosy focal point for winter evenings, while bespoke wooden shutters dress the windows, allowing light to pour in without compromising privacy. This is a space made for family relaxation and quiet evenings in.

RECEPTION ROOM / DINING ROOM
To the right of the hallway, a second reception room offers superb versatility. Currently used as a home office, it could just as easily function as a formal dining space, music room, or stylish playroom. Large enough for entertaining yet intimate in feel, this room enjoys a peaceful garden aspect and connects seamlessly to the kitchen beyond.

KITCHEN
The kitchen at Sunnyleigh is a true standout—an elegant and functional heart of the home that balances heritage design with contemporary convenience. Bathed in natural light from overhead skylights, it features bespoke cabinetry across base, wall and drawer units, paired with striking quartz worktops for both durability and elegance.

A double Belfast sink with a mixer tap sits beneath a garden-facing window, while the central breakfast island—with space for an integrated wine fridge—adds practicality and flair. The Range oven is set within an eye-catching over-mantle, offering character as well as excellent cooking space. An integrated dishwasher and designated space for an American-style fridge freezer ensure the kitchen works beautifully for modern family life. Underfloor heating runs throughout, ensuring the space feels warm and inviting all year round.

BASEMENT LEVEL
Beneath the kitchen lies a fully tanked, heated basement room—ready to become whatever suits your lifestyle. With power, lighting and heating already installed, it’s ideal as a quiet home office, creative studio, guest bedroom or snug.

FIRST FLOOR
Upstairs, the first floor blends period character with the comforts of modern living. Each room has been carefully styled to feel restful and refined, offering ideal spaces for both family life and quiet retreat.

PRINCIPAL BEDROOM
The spacious principal bedroom boasts a graceful period-style fireplace and ornate ceiling rose that nod to the home’s Victorian roots. Calming décor and generous proportions create a restful sanctuary, while a sleek ensuite shower room with walk-in shower, wall-mounted basin, and WC provides a touch of luxury.

SECOND DOUBLE BEDROOM
Also facing the front elevation, this large double bedroom is rich in character, featuring period-style wall panelling, an elegant ceiling rose, and bespoke built-in wardrobes that offer both style and practicality.

THIRD BEDROOM
Overlooking the rear garden and with views of the nearby railway line, the third bedroom is a charming single—perfect as a child’s room, nursery, or home office.

“Our little boy loves watching the trains go by from his window—he’s really going to miss that.” - Current homeowner

FAMILY BATHROOM
The house bathroom is a truly standout room. A freestanding roll-top bath and separate walk-in shower are accompanied by a wall-mounted sink and WC, all set against a backdrop of sumptuous finishes.

GARDEN
Outside, Sunnyleigh’s garden is designed to be both beautiful and practical—offering space to entertain, play, and unwind.

The upper terrace, enclosed by dry stone walling, catches the afternoon sun—perfect for alfresco dining or morning coffee. Below, a level artificial lawn offers a low-maintenance area for children to play or for relaxed summer gatherings.

At the garden’s edge, a cottage-style planting area features herbs, fruit trees and seasonal blooms. It’s a peaceful and productive space that invites you to slow down and enjoy the outdoors. A handy garden shed provides additional storage.
