Property description
Situated in one of the oldest parts of the town, yet within easy walking distance of the high Street this well proportioned three storey, three bedroom property is seeking a new owner. Lovingly re-designed by the current owners, this property offers the discerning buyer a truly individual and unusual home. The property benefits from a wonderful open plan living space, with a sitting room, kitchen and dining area. There is also a further reception room and study, bathroom and two double bedrooms on this floor. Open tread stairs lead up past the stained glass labyrinth window to the vast master bedroom suite with en-suite shower room, loads of storage and patio doors that open out to the rear balcony, which is big enough to entertain a good number of people, and offers far reaching views over the town, St John's church tower and Wearyall Hill. Steps lead down to the pretty walled garden that has an ornamental fish pond, and an abundance of colourful plants and flowers, with side access to the front of the property. Semi circular stone steps lead up to the top of the garden, which is surrounded by mature plants and trees and provides a wonderful sun-trap with views over the roof tops to the hills beyond. The property also has the added benefit of off road parking, which in Bove Town is a very rare thing indeed.
Owners Comment '
SunnyBank is a wonderful warm home.

The front of the property is enclosed by a stone retaining wall with a range of mature shrubs, trees and plants, including a wonderful climbing rose. Wooden steps lead to the front balcony, with a stable door that leads to the sitting room.
Rear Garden
The rear garden has been designed with peace and tranquillity in mind. The lower garden can be accessed via a pathway from the front, double doors from the side, and from wooden steps leading from the first floor balcony. There is an ornamental fish pond that feeds through to a waterfall at the top of the garden. The water trickles through various levels and runs under a bridge before cascading into the pond below. Semi circular steps lead up to the raised terrace enclosed by natural stone walls, which is a great place to sit to enjoy the afternoon sunshine and views towards Wearyall Hill and beyond. The gardens are a wonderful place to spark your creativity or just kick your shoes off and relax.
