Description

This is something a bit different! A much loved family home -hidden away on Solent View Road surrounded by 0.5 acres of garden offering an elevated outlook to the Solent. An unusual bungalow in two sections providing four bedrooms; two sitting areas and kitchen/breakfast room. Two en-suites and separate bathroom. Lots of outbuildings including two caravans and a chalet. In need of general upgrading - but a great opportunity for those who love the outdoors and space around. Freehold. Council Tax Band - B. EPC D-62

Having lived in Gurnard for most of my life, even I did not know this home existed! It is set back off Solent View Road in a garden plot of 0.5 acres and has been lived in and much loved by the current owners for nearly 40 years. The property comprises two parts as it was extended in the mid 90's to create an annexe bungalow which is linked to the original. Overall, the compact accommodation is in need of general modernisation, but offers a total of four bedrooms (two en-suite); two sitting areas and a conservatory; kitchen/dining room; separate study and family bathroom. It is surrounded by its mature gardens which have a parkland feel - with a huge variety of shrubs; trees and fruit trees. There are a myriad of outbuildings including a large workshop; greenhouse; two caravans and a chalet - some of which are in need of repair. A raised, decked verandah sits at the front of the original part of the property, offering a magnificent elevated countryside vista with a Solent backdrop.
The access is via a narrow driveway off Solent View Road which widens at the end to provide parking. There is also a pedestrain only access from the garden to Lower Church Road. For those seeking a tucked away but central village position, and those who love the outdoor life - then this is a hidden gem. Freehold. Council Tax Band - B. EPC - D62

This thriving estate agency which handles property sales right across the Isle of Wight offers a breath of fresh air with its innovative marketing strategies, unrivalled customer service and team of truly individual sales people.

Megan says:

"The best estate agents have a thorough technical knowledge of property; the local area and conveyancing as well as being fussy perfectionists with a camera and putting as much effort into the preparation of property particulars as writing an A-grade essay. They are a hand to hold and the voice of reason when things are getting rocky and the people who should joyfully dance with you when you finally collect the keys to your new house. They should, above all, care deeply about you the customer and your home.

I'm blessed to have an office full of these wonderful people - how lucky am I?"
