Description
Situated on the idyllic Swain's Lane, close to the beach, this three-bedroom bungalow features private gardens, a large garage, and off-road parking.
Woodcroft is a three-bedroom bungalow comprising a spacious sitting room overlooking south-facing gardens, a kitchen, three bedrooms, and a bathroom. There is a large integrated garage with utility space at the rear, as well as reasonable loft accessed via a hatch located in one of the bedrooms. Constructed in the 1980's the property has been well maintained but is cosmetically dated, offering an excellent opportunity for redecoration, modernisation, or potential redevelopment, including adding an upper floor as others in the lane have done, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consent and approval. The positioning on one of Bembridge's most sought-after and picturesque lanes is idyllic and provides easy access to the beautiful beach at Swains and the coastal path leading to the village, harbour and Sailing Club.
The Village has a good range of small shops for everyday needs, including an excellent fishmonger with freshly caught fish, a farm shop, a butcher, a coffee shop, delicatessen and several good restaurants. A more comprehensive range of shopping facilities is available in the county town of Newport (13 miles) and the nearby town of Ryde (7 miles). Located close to the eastern most point of The Island, Bembridge Harbour has extensive mooring facilities and two sailing clubs and there are wonderful coastal walks and sandy beaches accessible directly from the property. There are shallow beaches, perfect for swimming, kite-surfing and beach-combing.
