5 bedroom house

An impressive modernised family home boasting substantial space and accommodation with private gardens wrapping around and a southerly aspect.

Boasting a range of period features, this beautiful Victorian property was comprehensively refurbished and modernised in 2014 to offer open plan reception space including a superb kitchen/dining room, separate sitting room, family room, study and utility room, along with five bedrooms on the first floor and three bathrooms, one of which being ensuite. There is plenty of off-road parking and garden space enclosed by mature bay tree hedge. Tucked away in a convenient location the house offers a particularly appealing living space with wonderful authentic character and a high specification contemporary finish, such as the well equipped and luxury kitchen, underfloor heating and uPVC sash windows throughout.

Sandown Bay and surrounding areas are renowned for their long stretching sandy beaches where there is plenty to see and do. The property is within walking distance to the beach and the main town center with amenities, restaurants, and cafes as well as beautiful coastal walks to Yaverland and Shanklin. Yaverland Beach is arguably one of the Isle of Wight's best beaches, providing a long stretch of sand that is great for children and families. The beach extends north east from the Yaverland Sailing and Yacht Club to the foot of the chalk cliffs of Culver Down. Sandown train station is a short walk away, providing links through to Ryde and access to passenger ferry services to Portsmouth where there are connecting trains to London Waterloo. Fast passenger ferry services also operate between Cowes and Southampton with links to varying London stations. Both entire journey times take an estimated 2.5hrs door to door.
