Branstone, Sandown, Isle of Wight

This delightful, five bedroom property has the advantage of being surrounded by beautiful countryside whilst being located within easy distance of essential conveniences.

Divided into two separate living accommodations, this property would be an ideal choice for a multigenerational family, or alternatively the annex has the potential to create one large home or to provide an additional income as a holiday let or assured shorthold rental. The main home is contained on the ground floor and has the advantage of its own external access to the side of the property via a handy porch and lovely entrance hallway.

The attractive, farmhouse style kitchen boasts everything one would expect from a modern kitchen and provides ample space for a dining area as well. The sitting room is an excellent size and is a lovely, light area thanks to the four, dual aspect windows here – the two at the front affording views over the fields beyond. French doors lead outside to a patio and delightful front garden, mostly laid to lawn and bordered by pretty plants and trees. There are three double bedrooms, the master enjoying a family sized bathroom, as well as a further, full sized bathroom.

The annex is in the original, 1900's cottage and is arranged over two floors with its own, external access and entrance hallway. On the ground floor is a generous sitting room, with a stunning, original inglenook fireplace and a contemporary, galley kitchen. To the first floor are two double bedrooms, both enjoying views to the farmland at the front, and a recently updated shower room.

Outside to the front is a generous, gravel driveway with parking for numerous vehicles, as well as a double garage. The front garden is a good size and shielded by hedgerow and trees and well stocked with mature shrubs. To the rear is a low maintenance, paved garden which includes a summer house.

What the Owner says:

Hale Common is a hamlet on the outskirts of the ancient village, Arreton - a lovely, friendly community and an ideal place to raise a family or enjoy a peaceful retirement. There are countless walks in the area, including Arreton downs - an Area of Specific Scientific Interest – and the famous Red Squirrel trail that runs along an old railway line adjacent to the river Yar.

There's a convenience store a couple of minutes' drive away for the essentials, or slightly further is a Morrisons supermarket. For dining out there's a fabulous restaurant within easy walking distance serving high-end meals from locally sourced ingredients for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Further options include The Fighting Cocks pub serving traditional pub fayre and Thompson's garden centre café. And then there is Harvey Browns - a farm shop with a fantastic restaurant and such a vast array of the finest Isle of Wight produce that you could feasibly do your entire grocery shopping here.

The number 3 bus passes through between Newport and Ryde via Sandown and Bembridge, and in the summer there's also the Downs Breezer bus.

AUCTIONEER'S COMMENTS

This property is for sale by the Modern Method of Auction. Should you view, offer or bid on the property, your information will be shared with the Auctioneer, iamsold.

This method of auction requires both parties to complete the transaction within 56 days of the draft contract for sale being received by the buyers solicitor. This additional time allows buyers to proceed with mortgage finance (subject to lending criteria, affordability and survey).

The buyer is required to sign a reservation agreement and make payment of a non-refundable Reservation Fee, this being 4.2% of the purchase price including VAT, subject to a minimum of £6,000.00 including VAT. The Reservation Fee is paid in addition to purchase price and will be considered as part of the chargeable consideration for the property in the calculation for stamp duty liability.

Buyers will be required to go through an identification verification process with iamsold and provide proof of how the purchase would be funded.

This property has a Buyer Information Pack which is a collection of documents in relation to the property. The documents may not tell you everything you need to know about the property, so you are required to complete your own due diligence before bidding. A sample copy of the Reservation Agreement and terms and conditions are also contained within this pack.

The buyer will also make payment of £300 including VAT towards the preparation cost of the pack, where it has been provided by iamsold.

The property is subject to an undisclosed Reserve Price with both the Reserve Price and Starting Bid being subject to change. The seller can instruct iamsold to agree a sale without a bidding process taking place or prior to a closing date. No further bids can be accepted after a buyer has paid a Reservation Fee
