Bembridge, Isle of Wight

This detached family home occupies a large plot in a popular area of Bembridge, retaining much of its original character and offering excellent potential for modernisation and refurbishment.

86 Steyne Road is a charming Victorian detached house set back from the road, featuring spacious gardens and off-road parking. Previously extended, the property has a large footprint and offers scope for further development, such as an additional extension or annexe within the plot, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents and approvals. The versatile accommodation is arranged over two floors and comprises a spacious drawing room overlooking the front aspect, a dining room, separate kitchen, and large sitting room to the rear. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, two with original fireplaces, one ensuite and a family bathroom. The property is currently vacant, chain-free, and in need of modernisation. The original part of the house features a range of timber sash windows as well as period internal doors, skirting boards, and carpentry, which highlight the property's character. The gardens extend toward fields at the rear amid mature trees and include a private carport to the side of the house.

Situated in the heart of Bembridge, Steyne Road is a highly regarded residential location, conveniently positioned for the village centre, public transport and easy access to schools. The village has a range of independent shops, cafés and amenities catering for all. The coastal paths, beaches and sailing facilities for which Bembridge is renowned are also close at hand, making this an ideal primary or second home.
