If stunning views in a rural location and a beautiful mature garden are top of your list of attractions when it comes to buying a new home then this charming and unusual chalet bungalow built in 1929 should tick all the right boxes. It nestles behind a hedge on a quiet lane, on the route of the Island's Cycle Trail, on the outskirts of the village of Ningwood, not far from Yarmouth.

It sits in the midst of approximately half an acre of delightful gardens and is approached via a driveway leading to the garage, a car-port/log store, the front garden and an off-road parking area as well as to the front door. The entrance hall contains two useful storage cupboards, a utility room off and a sliding door to the unusual, five-sided kitchen. This high-quality kitchen was installed by the current owners and has a tiled floor with underfloor heating, a central island and a door to the garden. There are attractive units housing Bosch appliances: an induction hob, a conventional fan oven, a microwave oven, an integrated fridge freezer and a dishwasher.

A stable door from the kitchen provides access to the beautiful open plan lounge/dining area with its solid oak flooring and an impressive central brick fireplace with a log burner that keeps the entire room warm and cosy. At the far end there is a door to the main bedroom which has French doors giving a wonderful view of the garden, a dressing area and a fully tiled en suite bathroom with a bath and wet room facilities. Also off the lounge is a bedroom currently in use as a study and another door opens on to an inner hall with a double bedroom, a family bathroom and stairs up to another double bedroom. This whole area could be set aside for guests, elderly relatives or adult children looking for a bit of independence or could provide additional income as an air bnb.

Outside there are delights wherever you look. Over the patio is a charming pergola while much of the rest of the garden is laid to lawn with some impressive mature trees, gorgeous shrub and flower beds, a small orchard, and areas that have been designed as a haven for wildlife including a large goldfish pond. An insulated cabin with power and lighting makes an excellent office for anyone working from home, while the partly insulated summerhouse with its own patio area is just the place to enjoy a drink in the early evening sunshine. There is also an attached storage shed suitable for a ride-on-mower.

What the Owner says:
We moved here about 12 years ago and have been very happy here but we feel it is now time to move to the mainland to be nearer our children. Although the garden included some beautiful trees and shrubs when we bought the place, over the years we have developed the garden to become the wonderful haven it is today.
We enjoy the peace and tranquility, the views towards Hamstead, and the ability to walk along the many public footpaths and bridleways that surround us. Even though we are in the country, it is only 200 yards' walk to catch a bus to Yarmouth, ten minutes away, or Newport is about 20 minutes in the opposite direction where we have the full range of shops, supermarkets and venues one would expect for the main town on the Island. Of course, we are surrounded by the sea and the nearest beaches are only a very short drive away.
In Ningwood itself we have The Horse and Groom pub and a good primary school. In Shalfleet, still less than a mile away, there is an excellent village shop which sells a good range of local produce. Yarmouth, with its ferry port and marina, provides easy access to “the mainland” and includes a 16th century castle, a Grade II listed pier and hotels, pubs, restaurants, cafés and individual shops. For the visiting youngsters, Tapnell Farm Park, Fort Victoria and The Needles are close by.
