Location
Considerable potential in a highly desirable setting.
SUMMARY
The original part of Sunhoney is a stone built cottage, with a slate roof, which faces south east over its own enclosed gardens, and is believed to date from the 1890s. Timber clad extensions were added firstly in 1929, when it belonged to artists, who utilised the first floor studio, and then again in 1989, to create a home for a large family. Located off Murtle Den Road, it occupies a fine position in a sought after area. The house offers considerable scope for modernisation to create a well located wonderful family home, in a lovely setting with established gardens.

This property would be an artists or writers dream for creativity and inspiration. I love the wonderful natural light in many rooms.
