5 bedroom detached house for sale

Located in a quiet tree-lined street, this impressive five-bedroom 1930s property has been beautifully renovated by the current owners to offer an elegant family home with delightful gardens and versatile outbuildings.

Dating back to 1935, Villa Fiskardo effortlessly exudes sophisticated character and charm thanks to the elegant, traditional features such as exposed timber floorboards, traditional panel doors and decorative wall mouldings; all of which have been sympathetically enhanced with complementing interiors to provide a timeless beauty. Carefully considered to offer practical, modern-day family living, the property has recently undergone a superb renovation within recent years and was completely re-roofed in 2018 including an area of flat roofing which was finished with a modern single-ply covering. The result is a ready-to-move-in home providing peace of mind for the new owners that plenty of significant upgrades have been completed.

With a spacious entrance hall providing a striking first impression of the home, the ground floor boasts ample, flexible living accommodation comprising a living room with a stone feature fireplace, a versatile snug, and a dining room connecting with the rear garden. Adjacent to the dining room is a stylish, dual-aspect kitchen with integrated appliances and there is also a ground floor cloakroom providing convenience, particularly for guests. Continuing with the traditional elegance and spacious proportions, the first floor provides five beautifully presented bedrooms with lovely sea glimpses from bedroom one and plenty of convenience for the family with two washrooms comprising a bathroom and a shower room, plus a separate cloakroom.

Outside is equally as special, with attractive gardens featuring beautiful Olive trees and a well-tended lawn with a decked terrace to the rear where there is a fabulous summer house and a former garage, providing a practical outbuilding with huge potential to be converted into extra accommodation if desired. Additionally, the property benefits from a gated driveway which extends to the side of the property providing that all-important off-road parking.

Winchester Park Road is set in a fantastic coastal location with the award-winning golden beaches of Sandown Bay located just a short stroll away, offering plenty of seafront activities to enjoy. Providing a convenient lifestyle, Sandown High Street is also within short walking distance and offers a range of shops, convenience stores, cafes and restaurants. Plenty of watersports are available in the bay, and The Heights Leisure Centre is just half a mile away which offers fitness classes, a gym, a large swimming pool and a health suite. Sandown is served by Southern Vectis bus routes 2, 3 and 8 providing direct services to Bembridge, Newport, Ryde, Shanklin and Ventnor. Sandown train station is also located within a 15-minute walk from the property providing a direct connection to high-speed foot passenger ferry services from Ryde to the mainland. Additionally, the Fishbourne to Portsmouth car ferry service can be reached within a 30-minute drive.
