Sunny Hill is a beautiful individual property with a wealth of character features positioned on the edge of the conservation village of Ludgershall and backing onto glorious open countryside.
Evolving over time, the property originates from 1734 where it served as two farm labourers’ cottages. The current owners have comprehensively refurbished the property since taking ownership in the 1970’s, resulting in a wonderful family home merging character with modern features.
As you step inside, the spacious hallway features original beams and exposed brickwork at the back of the brick inglenook fireplace. The space incorporates a cleverly designed separate study area, perfect for working from home. Continuing through to the heart of the home, is the wonderful open plan kitchen diner, which has been extended into a half decagon shape providing a wonderful light-filled space. The kitchen features a walk-in cupboard and a useful full length shelved larder space. There is ample space for a full dining table with the feature of a log burner.
The kitchen itself, designed with both style and functionality in mind, features Travertine limestone flooring and an electric Aga.
Adjacent to the kitchen and through the hallway, which features comprehensive storage space, and the addition of a shower room, you reach the utility room. Doubling up as a second/ summer kitchen, there is a door leading onto the back patio.
Moving back toward the front aspect of the property is a stunning living room, this triple aspect room offers the perfect mix of comfort and character. Light and airy and with an impressive inglenook fireplace with cast iron multifuel wood burner.
Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, three doubles with fitted wardrobes and a single, all with part vaulted ceilings. The principal bedroom is dual aspect, with a fully vaulted ceiling and exposed brick chimney breast. The bathroom is modern and fresh fitted with a white suite. Timber latched doors feature throughout the home.
There are two ways to exit the property to the rear garden, either through the workshop/garage or from the previously mentioned utility/summer kitchen. The workshop/garage is a useful space and currently features work benches all along the left-hand side of the space.
Reaching the back patio outside area you are met with a delightful rear garden. It is a generous space with a raised lawn area, mature trees, vegetable patch and large raised flower beds. A brick path winds its way towards a gravelled area perfect for sitting and enjoying the unspoilt views of the neighbouring farmland. The reason for the Sunny Hill name of the property is exactly that, the owners have commented that there is always a sunny aspect to bask in on the property.
The gravelled driveway sits behind a five-bar gate and a high wall and can accommodate multiple vehicles. A pretty rose garden is positioned to one side, and to the other a pleasant lit courtyard with access to the garage/workshop which has doors front and back, power and lighting.
