Description

With its elegant colour-washed elevations, sash and casement windows, shutters, and a classic veranda with balcony, this property exudes period charm. Internally, it retains a wealth of original features including panelled doors, decorative architraves, high skirtings, original fireplaces, and a soft, neutral colour palette throughout.

Wide steps rise from the gravel drive to the grand front entrance, leading into a welcoming reception hall with cloakroom. A graceful turning staircase rises through the house, while beautiful oak flooring flows through the reception spaces and into the kitchen. The front reception room features tall sash windows, and double doors open to a second interconnecting reception room with fitted shelving and full height glazed doors that lead to a rear balcony overlooking the garden. The stylish kitchen is both functional and elegant, fitted with a range cooker, integrated appliances, and American-style fridge/freezer. A large granite topped central island incorporates a butler sink and offers generous preparation and entertaining space.

The principal bedroom suite is a true highlight, enjoying dual
south-facing aspects with far reaching views towards the Isle of Wight and glimpses of the Solent. It includes built-in wardrobes, a private dressing room, and a stunning en suite bathroom with walk-in wet room, freestanding bath, and double basins. Three further bedrooms and a luxurious family bathroom complete the first floor. The second floor offers two additional bedrooms and a well-appointed shower room. A locked door leads to a large flat roof area with elevated view - offering potential for a roof terrace (subject to planning).

At lower ground level is a rear entrance and boot room, leading to the self-contained one bedroom annexe. With its own front and rear access, this space features a spacious living area, modern kitchen, large double bedroom, and sleek shower room - perfect for guests, extended family, or rental potential. There's also a generous laundry room and storage.

OUTSIDE
The beautifully landscaped walled garden is an oasis of privacy and calm. Mature trees line a pathway through a carpet of springtime bluebells leading to a lush lawn. A raised stone terrace provides an ideal setting for al fresco dining, complemented by a bespoke summerhouse bar and pizza oven. At the far end of the garden lies a well-established orchard, along with two large studio/workshops. One original brick outbuilding has been tastefully converted into a stylish home office/studio with its own shower room - ideal for remote work or creative use.
