Description
A superbly modernised family home with character and exceptional open-plan living space, enclosed gardens and sea glimpses.
Built in 1935 of red brick elevations with pebble-dash render, the property has been extensively modernised and extended, now featuring a new porch and a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and living room with sliding doors opening onto the garden.
Throughout the house, original character blends seamlessly with contemporary materials and finishes, including underfloor heating, high-quality aluminium sliding doors, remote-operated Velux skylights and beautifully styled kitchen and bathroom suites. Storage has been cleverly incorporated, utilising reclaimed and original materials to create comfortable and practical family living spaces.
The property sits well back from the road, providing ample parking on a gravelled driveway. To the rear is an enclosed garden with a large terrace, timber-clad outbuilding and the added bonus of a professionally installed basketball net with prepared mini court and skate ramp - both of which could potentially be repurposed as bases for further outbuildings or additional terrace.
The location benefits from sea views from the upper floors and is conveniently positioned near Foreland Beach, offering fantastic coastal walks towards Culver Down or along to Bembridge village and harbour. The property is also within easy reach of the amenities of Bembridge village, including shops, cafés and pubs.
