House For Sale £2,000,000
Set at the edge of Bessels Green, close to the village of Chipstead, Sunnycrest is a fine, detached family house which has been the subject of a skilful and imaginative programme of restoration and extension. Ensuring that modern principals and design chic are to the fore, the present owners have set about creating a comfortable and practical family home, which is also presented with great style and aplomb. Extending to approximately 4000 square feet (excluding the garaging), the accommodation is laid out over two floors and arranged to combine open plan and defined living space.

Crittal style glazed room dividers, floor to ceiling windows, French doors and large sky lights allow for maximum natural light penetration and the oak staircase has been specifically designed. The drawing room enjoys a wood burning stove for chilly days, whilst the study could also serve as an ideal TV snug. With tall French doors leading out to a covered loggia and wall to wall windows, the kitchen/dining/family room is a marvellous combination of style and practicality. Furnished with a range of painted cabinetry finished with granite work surfaces and a large central island, the kitchen area is superbly appointed with Miele integrated appliances including a wine cooler, coffee maker and a hot water tap as well as an electric four oven Aga with bolt-on. The first floor is given over to five bedrooms supported by four bath/shower rooms.
