Description
Discreetly located in the rural parish of Semer, Sunnyside is a detached period house which probably dates from the early 1800s.
Typically of a house of its ilk, the numerous period features are evident, however the house is fortuitously not listed.
To the rear, which is the principal access into the house, a spacious kitchen / breakfast room is fitted with a comprehensive range of units and numerous appliances. Beyond the dining area is the cloak room.
The two reception rooms are also generously proportioned, where the sitting room enjoys views over surrounding countryside and gardens via numerous windows (all windows are double glazed) as well as full height French doors to the rear. The notable feature to the front dining/reception room is the central inglenook fireplace with wood burner.
On the first floor, the accommodation has been reconfigured to provide an impressive rear bedroom which again gives delightful, far-reaching rural views towards Kersey village. The remaining first floor provides two further bedrooms to the front and a modernised family bathroom.
Outside, Sunnyside is accessed via two electrically controlled timber gates which lead onto a driveway, where large areas of shingle providing ample parking for numerous vehicles with an adjacent ornamental fishpond.
A substantial detached outbuilding forms the double garage to the front, with an attached one-bedroom annex to the rear, comprising an open plan kitchen / sitting room with a double bedroom and shower room.
Beyond the annex (south-west) is an area of lawn flanked by well-established flower and shrub borders. The lawn extends to the west and south, which opens onto a wonderful elevated meadow (about one acre) interspersed with numerous mature fruit trees. The secluded setting has much appeal, which abuts farmland on the entire western boundary. There are numerous seating areas and a large timber cabin/summerhouse. Further timber outbuildings include an array of sheds and stores.
Services
Mains water and electricity are connected. Private drainage via septic tank. Oil fired heating. 10 Photovoltaics (PV) solar panels fitted to the southern part of the annex roof.

Flood Risk
Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
