An impressive Edwardian family home with immense character which has been thoughtfully modernised, and sits on the edge of one of York's most sought after and popular villages.
Built between 1901 and 1903 Sunnyside's original owner was a Lord Mayor of York whose distinguished friends included chocolatier and philanthropist Joseph Rowntree, and Liberal Prime Minister David Lloyd George, both known to have enjoyed visits to the house.

The property forms the significant half of a substantial villa which represents the very best of Edwardian architecture and craftsmanship. Intricately carved woodwork, ornate plasterwork, deep decorative friezes, elaborate art deco-stained glass, mullion windows, parquet and marble flooring and a Juliet balcony all enhance this stately property.

Sympathetic renovations by the current owners include unique bedrooms with frescoes painted by an award-winning artist and decorative Lincrusta friezes. The original features have been enhanced with an extended modern kitchen, orangery and conservatory made of marble with ornate wood and plaster features echoing the finery of the principal rooms.

The family bathroom boasts wall to ceiling travertine, underfloor heating, oversized shower and free-standing bath. The master bedroom ensuite has marble throughout, underfloor heating and decorative Lincrusta.
