5 bedroom chalet

A unique detached L-shaped chalet bungalow nestling in approximately 2.9 acres of grounds and with superb rural views, offer an idyllic combination. This delightful family home, with its mellow Bradstow stone exterior, is on the outskirts of Alverstone Garden Village. It includes a field surrounded by a private woodland providing peace and quiet, privacy and security. Over the years the property has been extended from its origins as a small bungalow and modernised to provide everything needed for contemporary living with five bedrooms and two sitting rooms. The spacious hall leads to the large elegant and triple aspect lounge with its central beam, a charming fireplace with a multi-fuel burner as well as sliding patio doors to the garden. There is also a well-stocked bar/snug with a large American style fridge where you can create some magic cocktails that is adjacent to the fitted utility room with external access. Anyone who enjoys cooking and entertaining will be delighted with the modern L-shaped, double aspect kitchen/breakfast area with its recently installed Smeg range cooker and attractive pale units with a double oven, fridge and Miele dishwasher. The large dining area is ideal for entertaining friends and family and includes patio doors to a terrace. There is also a family shower room just inside the front door that is great for a clean up after a country walk or a trip to the beach as well as three bedrooms, one of which could always be used as a separate dining room or study. The other two bedrooms can be accessed via a separate external door. One of these is a large double with a bay window and en suite facilities and the other has stairs to the first floor sitting room with its vaulted ceiling. This room is designed to capture the stunning views and includes multi-pane French doors to a balustraded decked terrace. If required these two bedrooms and sitting room could always become a self-contained annex for family members or a hideaway for teenage children wanting a bit of independence and somewhere to entertain their friends. Off the spacious landing on the first floor there is a family bathroom and two good sized bedrooms including one with a dressing area and the other with a walk-in wardrobe.

What the Owner says:
This property has been in our family for at least 50 years and we moved here in the mid-1980s. It was originally a small bungalow and over the years we extended it to become the delightful family home it is today with plenty of flexible accommodation. It was originally purchased because of the stunning location, the peace and tranquility as well as accessibility to the rest of the island as we are only about 15 to 20 minutes' drive from Newport, Ryde and Ventnor. The house has been a wonderful place to bring up our children but we feel it is now time to downsize.

We are only about four miles from Sandown with its delightful seafront and high street or Los Altos Park and the station for trains that run between Ryde Pier Head and Shanklin. Sandown includes a golf club, a range of shops, restaurants, schools and its well-known pier as well as the zoo. It also hosts a number of annual events including a carnival and the lovely beach won ‘Beach of the Year Award' in the BBC Countryfile Magazine Awards 2019.
