4 bedroom detached house for sale

Originally built in 1860 within the grounds of the this property estate, this charming four-bedroom, period property is ideally situated in the heart of Brading; a pretty, little town steeped in history. The property's period features can be seen throughout, beginning externally at the front with the wide, bay windows, attractive archway porch and beautiful, stained-glass panels in the front door. Even the modern addition of UVPC double glazing sash windows have been done sympathetically to the original build era.

Enter into the spacious, central hallway, with its gorgeous, turned wood staircase. To the front of the house is the sitting room, with the beautiful bay windows and an attractive, original fireplace. This room adjoins the snug and makes great use of wide, sliding doors, opening up both rooms into one, large living area that benefits from triple aspect windows. The kitchen is an excellent size and again, has retained some original features, such as the open fireplace and chimney stack. Leading directly off the kitchen is the dining room, with another pretty, original fireplace. Further rooms on the ground floor include a very handy utility room and cloakroom.

To the first floor are four, evenly proportioned double bedrooms, all of which have retained the original chimney stacks, making it easy to restore to their original glory. The main bedroom benefits from the lovely, bay windows and beautiful, rural and sea views, as does the second bedroom to the front. The first floor also benefits from a family bathroom plus a separate shower room. On the lower ground floor are two excellent bonus rooms, which could make a home cinema and games room, or even a guest bedroom suite.

Outside to the rear is a good sized, enclosed garden, with a delightful mix of mature plants and trees, and a paved decking area as well. Behind the fence is parking for several vehicles, accessed via a private road to the side of the property.

What the Owner says:
Brading is believed to be one of the oldest towns on the island, with the Romans initially setting up residence here in the third century and later King Alfred founding the town in the seventh century. The Roman Villa can still be viewed today and there is evidence of the town's rich history throughout. However, this property is in an ideal location to enjoy all the contemporary benefits of this delightful, historic town as well. It has two great pubs - The Bugle and The Wheatsheaf - within easy walking distance, as well a couple of excellent restaurants, including the highly rated Hungry Bear.

There is a local convenience store just a couple of minutes' walk away for all the essentials, and a Tesco Extra just a few miles down the road as well. The town is well served by public transport, with the numbers two and three buses running regularly to Newport and Ryde via the coastal town of the Sandown. Brading is also on the Island line train service, which travels to and from Ryde pierhead – ideal for catching the high-speed catamaran to Portsmouth.
