Greenlydd Close, Niton

Welcome to Glen Crest

Offered for sale chain free and occupying an unusually generous plot in the sought-after village of Niton, Glen Crest is a detached bungalow offering space, flexibility and enormous potential in a wonderfully peaceful setting. Clearly cherished and well maintained over the years, the accommodation now presents an exciting opportunity for a new owner to introduce their own style while enjoying the practical benefits of good uPVC double glazing and electric heating. At its heart is a generous sitting room, complemented by a bright conservatory that draws the garden into the home and creates an appealing additional living space. Three bedrooms provide excellent versatility, with the former garage conversion particularly well suited to guests, hobbies or home working thanks to its separate garden entrance. Outside is where Glen Crest truly comes into its own: expansive lawns, established planting, terraces and tucked-away seating areas combine to create a garden with room to enjoy throughout the day.

Greenlydd Close enjoys a peaceful setting within the highly regarded village of Niton, surrounded by the dramatic landscape of the Island’s southern tip yet conveniently placed for everyday life. Village amenities, including a well-stocked grocery store, pharmacy and primary school, are within easy reach, while The White Lion and historic Buddle Inn provide popular local places to eat and drink. Wonderful walking country begins close to home, with routes leading towards St Catherine’s Lighthouse and the rugged south-west coast, making the area particularly appealing to walkers and lovers of the outdoors. Regular Southern Vectis bus services connect Niton with destinations across the Island, while the village itself retains a relaxed and traditional atmosphere that makes this part of the Undercliff such an appealing place to settle.

The Approach

Set back from the road behind an open lawned frontage, Glen Crest has the attractive, understated appearance of a traditional detached bungalow. A pathway leads to the recessed entrance, while a driveway alongside provides convenient off-road parking. From the outset, the generous width of the plot hints at the amount of outside space waiting beyond the house.

The Accommodation

The entrance hall forms the central spine of the bungalow, connecting the principal living accommodation, bedrooms and bathroom in a straightforward and practical arrangement. The sitting room is particularly generous, with ample space for substantial seating as well as a dining area if desired. Large windows bring in good natural light, while an opening to the conservatory creates an extended living space with attractive views across the garden. The conservatory itself is a bright, relaxed room with glazing to multiple sides and direct access outside, making it especially enjoyable in the warmer months.

The separate kitchen is traditionally fitted and enjoys a pleasant outlook to the front. From here, the adjoining utility room provides valuable additional practicality, with space for laundry appliances and French doors opening directly onto the patio and garden.

There are three bedrooms in total. Two are conventional bedrooms positioned off the main hall, while the third occupies the former garage conversion. This extended room has internal access from the adjoining bedroom together with its own independent external door, giving it excellent flexibility as a guest room, hobby space or particularly useful home office. The bathroom is fitted with a bath and shower over, wash basin and WC.

The bungalow also has the benefit of a large loft space, which is partially boarded and can be easily accessed using the integral loft ladder.

Please note, the washing machine, tumble dryer and under counter-freezer could be included by separate negotiation if required.

Garden

The gardens are an exceptional feature of Glen Crest and reflect the rare double-width plot. The outside space unfolds into a series of distinct areas, allowing different parts to be enjoyed as the sun moves around the property. Immediately behind the bungalow are paved terraces for outdoor dining and seating, adjoining a broad area of lawn enclosed by established hedging and fencing.
Beyond this, further garden areas continue with mature shrubs, planting and additional lawns, creating a wonderfully spacious and established feel. A more secluded paved seating area offers another attractive spot for relaxing or entertaining, while the garden’s scale provides plenty of scope for keen gardeners or those simply seeking room around them. A summerhouse creates an appealing retreat, complemented by two useful timber sheds for storage.

Parking - Driveway

A private driveway to the front of the bungalow provides convenient off-road parking.
