Seller Insight When we first viewed Sunnycrest House 5 years ago, we were immediately taken by the location and the spectacular views. I think it’s fair to say that the house wasn’t quite to our style at the time but we were excited by the potential and we went ahead with the purchase knowing that we would be embarking on a big project to rebuild the house into our ideal home,” recall the current owners. “We provided a defined specification to our architect and the renovation works began. It is now a very spacious house with fantastic grounds that really makes the most of the spectacular views. We’ve been so pleased with the end result. The large and imposing galleried hallway was designed to set a striking first impression as it has a clear view to the rear of the house which perfectly captures the remarkable views. The rooms are large and well-proportioned, and we tend to spend most of our time in the family room as it is very light, spacious and contemporary.” “The house and garden are ideal for entertaining. The games room has a bar and has been a huge source of fun and we have hosted a number of birthday parties, as well as other enjoyable social visits and evenings spent with friends and family. We like to entertain on the patio areas when the weather is nice.” “The outside space has been designed into a series of interesting areas to relax and take in the views. There are lots of grassy and lawned areas and the decked area by the pond has been ideal for BBQs. We have enjoyed growing our own vegetables and our dogs particularly loved their walks along the path in the small wooded area.” “The location has been ideal too. Our youngest son is at Princethorpe College which is easily accessible and it’s just a short drive to the shops and restaurants in Coventry and Rugby. Leamington Spa is nearby too and has a lovely range of independent stores, cafes and bistros.” “We’ve enjoyed living in this fabulous house which has provided us with a high standard of contemporary living, and we will miss this, along with those glorious views and the outside space.”* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.
