The Glen, Minster on sea

A Home That Feels Like a Holiday – Every Single Day

Some houses are simply somewhere to live. Others — rare ones — become the backdrop to a life well-loved. This is one of those homes.

Set in a peaceful pocket of the island, just a gentle stroll from the wooded trails of Glen Woodland Park and minutes from the wide sandy arc of The Leas, this five-bedroom detached bungalow invites you to slow down, spread out, and savour life at your own pace.

From the front, its twin oriel windows frame the home with timeless character, while fitted shutters on every window bring both style and privacy. Step inside and you’ll feel the care in every detail — the soft warmth of underfloor heating beneath beautifully tiled floors in the kitchen/family room, hallway, and utility, and a layout that flows effortlessly from one inviting space to the next.

The near 24ft kitchen/dining/family room is the natural heart of the home, with vaulted ceilings, gleaming granite worktops, and high-spec Neff appliances setting the scene for both everyday living and special occasions. Here, breakfasts spill into lazy lunches, and evenings become feasts worth lingering over.

When it’s time to relax, the separate lounge/dining room offers a softer kind of luxury. Bi-fold doors open onto the garden, electric Velux windows bathe the room in natural light, and integrated media and ambient lighting let you set the mood perfectly — whether it’s movie night or quiet conversation.

The four double bedrooms, two with private en-suites, provide sanctuary for family and guests, while outside, life feels like a resort. The landscaped garden is designed for both entertaining and unwinding — a fully equipped outdoor kitchen for delicious alfresco dining, a barbecue area, an additional seating zone with a tranquil waterfall feature, and all the open space you need for summer gatherings or peaceful solitude.

At the far end, the 28ft x 16ft studio offers true flexibility — an artist’s retreat, a home gym, or transformed into a charming annexe for a loved one. The electrically operated garage doors and wide driveway make everyday living as effortless as entertaining.

Here, every detail works in harmony — inside and out — to create a home that’s as beautiful as it is practical, in a location that gives you the best of island life.
