Totland Bay, Isle of Wight

A great opportunity to put your own stamp on this semi-detached two bedroom cottage located on the rural outskirts of Totland and Freshwater.

The property now requires renovation and redecoration, yet offers excellent scope to create a truly charming home. The accommodation includes a well-proportioned kitchen overlooking the rear garden, a ground-floor bathroom, and a generous lounge/dining room featuring attractive woodblock flooring and a wood-burning stove. Upstairs, there are two good double bedrooms, one with an access hatch to a loft area above the kitchen and bathroom. This space presents superb potential for additional accommodation by incorporating a rear dormer window (subject to planning permission and building regulation approval). The home benefits from gas central heating and uPVC double-glazed windows. Outside, the enclosed rear garden includes a stream towards the lower boundary and a very useful detached timber garage.

Location - Occupying a convenient position on the corner of Trevanions Way and Summers Lane, the cottage enjoys easy access to both Totland and Freshwater. Freshwater is the larger of the two villages and provides an excellent range of everyday amenities including supermarkets, independent shops, cafés, a library, sports centre, swimming pool medical centre and other useful services. The coastline is close at hand, with the beaches at Totland Bay, Colwell Bay and Freshwater Bay all within comfortable reach, each offering their own character and appeal. The surrounding landscape is equally impressive, with numerous footpaths and bridleways leading through open countryside and farmland, as well as direct routes onto the renowned Tennyson Downs, one of the Island’s most celebrated walking areas with far-reaching coastal views.
