A luxurious modern family home with an executive, high-specification finish and mature landscaped gardens offering privacy and colourful outlook on three sides and a sea view.
5 Woodlands is a particularly impressive home, nestled in a private position set within its own gardens on this sought-after development on the outskirts of Shanklin Old Village. With easy access to beautiful walking routes and a sea view from the first floor, the house offers a great deal of space and accommodation, including four or five double bedrooms and four bathrooms, in addition to open-plan reception space, a separate sitting room and a converted garage, which now provides a family or bedroom and utility space.

Constructed in 2020, the houses in Woodlands were built to a high specification, with 9ft-high ceilings, open-plan living space and a fully equipped kitchen/breakfast room with high-quality appliances. The ground floor benefits from zone controlled underfloor heating, polished ceramic floor tiles and LED downlights, which are fitted throughout the property and there is the balance of a 10-year NHBC warranty, offering peace of mind. The house has been further enhanced with A-rated privacy glazing, integrated window blinds and underfloor heating in the converted garage. There are also awnings to the south and eastern elevations, providing shelter from the sun, and expertly planted gardens with mature borders.
There is plenty of parking, with two spaces at the front, while fencing to the rear opens to provide further parking within the courtyard via a large double gate.
