Located within a highly sought-after area, this stunning detached bungalow benefits from three double bedrooms, a naturally light living room, a contemporary kitchen-diner with an adjoining utility room, a beautiful wrap around garden, and driveway parking.

Located just a short stroll from local village amenities, this beautiful bungalow enjoys light and spacious accommodation which has been well maintained and updated over the years. It is evident that this property has been a loving family home for the last 56 years with some original features remaining complemented by contemporary finishes with a stunning kitchen, modern shower room, and beautiful internal and external doors within the last three years. Around the same time, the owners extended the living room to create a spacious and naturally light room which now benefits from triple aspect windows and glorious views. Surrounding the entire house is a superb, well-established garden which provides vegetable patches, flower beds and mature fruit trees, plus multiple sheds and a greenhouse which was added just two years ago. The property also benefits from driveway parking and a carport.

Conveniently situated a short walk from the centre of the bustling rural village of Brighstone, in the heart of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this beautiful bungalow is conveniently placed to access the local amenities which include a newsagents and a general village store with a post office, an excellent pub, and a medieval church dating back to the twelfth century, along with a GP surgery, recreational ground with tennis courts, and a primary school. The rugged south-west coastline of the Island is within walking distance with miles of unspoilt beaches to explore. An extensive network of footpaths and bridleways connect rolling chalk downland and a string of pretty villages and hamlets for a panoramic view of the whole area from the downs. A bus service connects Brighstone to Newport and Freshwater, and the mainland car ferry to Lymington connection is approximately a 20-minute drive from Blanchards.

The bungalow comprises an entrance hall leading to the kitchen-diner and utility room, living room, three double bedrooms and a shower room.
