4 bedroom detached house

Built in 1912, Almond Cottage is a charmingly pretty period house, which is set within mature gardens on a quiet residential street in Bembridge. The house shows hints of the Arts and Crafts movement with its deep, walk in bay window, veranda and other period features including open fireplaces and picture rails.

The accommodation has been thoughtfully extended on the ground floor to provide wonderfully sociable living areas without spoiling the original charm of the house. This comprises spacious entrance hall, a sitting room and a kitchen breakfast room with vaulted ceilings and lots of natural light, a separate dining room, a studio/ground floor bedroom, a utility room and a shower room. This is complemented on the first floor by 3 double bedrooms, all of which have a generous amount of storage space, and a family bathroom.
 
Externally, Almond Cottage has wonderfully mature gardens which wrap to all sides of the house, incorporating a gravelled driveway and 2 paved seating areas. Of further interest is a war time bunker which can be accessed via steps in the front garden.
 
This is a truly delightful home which would suit family living, retired couples requiring additional space for friends and family or those seeking a pretty, spacious holiday retreat in the village.
