DESCRIPTION
Tucked away along a peaceful country lane in a desirable rural location, Sunnyside is a striking new build property extending to 3200 sq ft (approx) that blends technology with considered design and craftsmanship. Constructed by the current owners with meticulous attention to detail and set in just under seven acres of private grounds, including a generous formal garden, a number of paddocks, menage and outbuilding with stables, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey smallholding or equestrian home in one of Cheshire's most sought-after rural locations.

From the moment you approach through the electric sliding gates the quality and attention to detail is immediately apparent. The driveway sweeps past the property, whose modern architecture, with its appealing Cheshire style brick elevations, surmounted by a slate roof sits confidently in its landscape.

Inside, the property unfolds into a spacious and light-filled interior, with a layout designed for modern family life and entertaining. Upon entry, you are welcomed into a generous reception hall that serves as the central hub of the ground floor. Its standout feature is the bespoke glazed staircase, an elegant architectural centrepiece leading to the first floor.

At the heart of the home is a beautifully appointed open-plan living kitchen dining area. Within the kitchen dining area, full-height glazed bifold doors (with integrated blinds) span the side elevation and open onto a patio and gardens beyond. The kitchen is a masterclass in luxury: two Siemens ovens with steam and microwave functions, a Siemens 90cm flex induction hob, full-height built-in larder fridge and freezer, a Siemens dishwasher and an INTU boiling tap with filtered cold water, all seamlessly integrated into elegant matt black linear cabinetry with stone worktops. The kitchen dining area in turn opens into a dual aspect living room with bifold doors (with integrated blinds) opening onto the rear patio and gardens beyond.
Across the hallway from the kitchen dining area is the dual-aspect lounge, a light-filled, airy room with media wall complete and LED fire as its focal point¿perfect for more formal gatherings

Designed with practicality in mind, the ground floor also boasts a spacious utility room, a boot room and a beautifully appointed WC, accessible from both the entrance hall and the utility area. Additional features include, a plant room, and cloak room providing ample storage space throughout.

The first floor continues to impress, flooded with natural light. The master bedroom suite is a luxurious retreat, complete with bi-folding doors opening onto a Juliet balcony. This space offers views across the property¿s own grounds and grazing land, ideal for those who wish to oversee their livestock.

The ground floor benefits from individually zoned underfloor heating in each room, while the first floor features radiator heating, again controlled per room via a central manifold. The entire heating and hot water system is powered by a high-temperature Hitachi air source heat pump, all of which can be managed from a smartphone through the Heatmiser app. Air conditioning units are fitted in the dining kitchen, the master bedroom and bedroom 2.
