Description
A fabulous and extensive 4-5 bedroom detached chalet bungalow located in a quiet and sought after residential road on the the outskirts of Freshwater Bay, backing on to farmland and featuring solar panels for improved energy efficiency.
The property has been extended and comprehensively refurbished in recent times to create a genuinely spacious and highly practical family home, offering versatile accommodation with the potential for up to five bedrooms. On entering, the sense of space is immediately apparent, complemented by a smart modern finish, updated kitchen and bathroom fittings, generous built-in storage, replacement anthracite double-glazed windows and doors, an upgraded gas central heating system, and enhanced insulation. Flooring includes fitted carpets to the bedrooms and principal reception rooms, with attractive tiling to the reception hall, kitchen, utility and bathroom areas, where electric underfloor heating adds further comfort. The ground floor features a spacious double-aspect living room, a separate dining room, and a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room with a central island unit and double doors opening to the patio terrace. A small study provides an ideal home office, while a ground-floor double bedroom with a beautifully finished en suite shower room offers excellent storage and is particularly suitable for those requiring level-access accommodation. A cloakroom and generous utility room complete the ground floor. There is excellent potential to create an annexe by combining the ground-floor bedroom with en suite, the utility room and the dining room, ideal for multi-generational living if required.
Upstairs, the superb master suite overlooks the rear garden and includes fitted wardrobes, a dressing area and a stylish en suite shower room. Two further double bedrooms, each with access to storage, and a family bathroom with both bath and separate shower add to the generous accommodation. Photovoltaic solar panels fitted to the roof help reduce day-to-day running costs and paired with the battery storage further enhance the efficiency.
Outside, the gardens are a particularly attractive feature of the property and, despite their generous size, have been thoughtfully designed to remain as low-maintenance as possible. To the front, there is ample off-road parking and turning space for several vehicles together with an EV charging point and scope to add a double car port if desired (subject to planning permission). The rear garden enjoys wide open lawns bordered by established planting, along with a patio terrace ideal for outdoor dining and a useful timber garden store.
