Arranged over three floors, the accommodation offers scope for a variety of living arrangements, including multi-generational occupation, visiting guests or those requiring dedicated space to work from home.

A defining feature of Sunny Oaks is the quality of its construction and impressive environmental credentials. The property benefits from an outstanding A+ energy performance rating of 103, alongside solar panels and energy-efficient underfloor heating throughout, helping to create a comfortable internal environment while reducing energy consumption. These features are complemented by a bespoke fitted kitchen incorporating high-end integrated appliances and carefully considered contemporary finishes.
