With its unusual design, incorporating white silica brickwork, varied roof lines, a double height bay window and pitched roof dormer windows, this detached house has kerb appeal. It was built in 1988 and is set well back from the road in the midst of a third of an acre and approached from a private road through a gated entrance leading to a substantial parking area, the double garage and carport.

The spacious hall includes an unusual staircase and metal bannister and storage cupboards. There are glazed double doors to the open plan dining room with sliding doors to the patio and a wide archway to the kitchen/breakfast room. The contemporary kitchen includes a central island/breakfast bar, a range cooker and modern white units housing appliances and a utility room with access to a cloakroom and the garden.

There is a study with fitted bookcases and a bay window. The triple aspect lounge has sliding doors to the patio, a modern fireplace and a log effect gas fire. However the ‘piece de resistance' is the indoor swimming pool complex with a heated pool, a sauna and shower as well as a decked area and a covered Jacuzzi that could be re-instated.

Upstairs there is a modern fitted family bathroom and five bedrooms. The triple aspect main bedroom includes a trendy en suite shower room, fitted cupboards and patio doors to a private balcony. The guest double room has an en suite shower, a bay window and fitted bedroom furniture while a third includes patio doors to a wide balcony.

A summerhouse, originally designed as a gym, includes lighting and electrics and there is a hot tub on the patio. A large lawn is surrounded by impressive mature trees and shrubs and backs onto the neighbour's garden with uninterrupted countryside views.

What the Owner says:
I bought this house some 20 years ago because the unusual and attractive design appealed to me and I love the swimming pool, the wonderful mature grounds that surround the property and the quiet and peaceful environment. I am only moving because my requirements have changed but will still be staying on the island. The location is very convenient because it is only five minutes from the ferry to Portsmouth at Fishbourne and a short distance to Wootton Creek. There is also a bus stop at the end of the lane for Newport and Ryde.

Living near Wootton is ideal because the village includes a primary school, doctors' surgery, dentist, a pharmacy, hairdresser, garage and a Tescos and it is not far from Ryde or Newport. It is a friendly community with its millpond, St Edmund's church that dates from the 11th century, The Woodmans Arms and the 150 year old Sloop Inn as well as the steam railway station and the Fernhill Icehouse, which is all that remains of the Fernhill estate that was destroyed by fire in 1938. There is also the Lakeside Hotel and Spa a mile away and a farm shop and café nearby.
