This elegant single storey stone and brick cottage has a wonderful, elevated positioning with far-reaching views and spacious living areas. It is efficiently warmed by a newly installed air source heat pump central heating system and a handsome wood burner. Hot water is supplied via a Solar Thermal system with PV panels also exporting excess electricity production back to the grid. The bright, freshly presented accommodation seamlessly blends the convenience of its modern build with a wealth of period character. The bungalow is accessed with steps leading up from the parking area to the garden which sets the property well back from the quiet lane and gives much privacy. The home is entered by a welcoming dining conservatory which links in turn with steps up to the sitting room and leading open-plan into the kitchen. This area is fitted with a range of attractive units with the focal point being a stunning deep purple Esse electric range with both a traditional hot plate and induction hob. The very large sitting room is again focused towards the garden with a handsome, wide inglenook fireplace housing a wood burning stove. There are two well proportioned double bedrooms which both enjoy the morning sun and have doors leading out onto an enclosed courtyard. One bedroom has its own smart en-suite shower room and a decadently large and well equipped bathroom featuring a roll-top bath services the other room. To the rear lies a pretty, enclosed decked courtyard which has an insulated garden building perfect as a home office or even guest area. The gorgeous main garden at the front is planted with a colourful array of shrubs and perennial plants and gives a super, elevated view; especially from its large raised decked terrace. A summer house is tucked into the corner and a shed provides storage.
At the front, a driveway leads up to a substantial stone built enclosed car port which is tucked under the garden. Offered Chain Free. Freehold. Council Tax Band - D. EPC B-82.

This is not your everyday bungalow, but instead a beautifully built modern stone cottage. It sits in an individual plot and enjoys some wonderful views of the surrounding countryside and the sea. I am utterly biased when it comes to Brighstone (having lived here for nearly thirty years) but I really feel it's the best village on the Island. Arrange a viewing (and ask for me) and I can give you a guided tour of all Brighstone has to offer if you are new to the area!
