Description
A sizable detached modern four/five bedroom 'ECO' home located in a small close of just three properties in this sought-after West Wight village.
The property was built by the current owners to a high specification, with a strong emphasis on energy efficiency, achieving an exceptional A-rated EPC score of 105. It incorporates a range of energy-saving features, including a 'Samsung' air-source heat pump feeding an underfloor heating system, high levels of insulation, 21 photovoltaic solar panels and 10kW of battery storage managed by a Solar Edge system, with capacity to add further storage if desired. Future-proofing was a key consideration in the design, with attic trusses and insulation already in place to create a 40m² second-floor room, ready for conversion to additional accommodation (subject to the necessary consents).
On the ground floor, a charming oak-framed porch leads into a welcoming reception hall with oak staircase and a well-appointed cloakroom. The generous living room features a wood-burning stove and tri-fold doors opening onto a large decked terrace. The spacious L-shaped kitchen/dining room enjoys a front-to-rear aspect and also opens to the garden via tri-fold doors. The kitchen provides excellent storage and a range of quality appliances, including Neff cooking aplliances comprising 'hide n slide' oven, combination oven with microwave, a separate warming drawer, and a five-ring induction hob set within the large island beneath a discreet ceiling-mounted extractor. A good-sized utility room leads directly from the kitchen and connects neatly to the garage, which benefits from its own loft storage. A versatile fifth bedroom/study is also located on the ground floor and includes excellent built-in storage.
Upstairs, a spacious landing gives access to all bedrooms, the family bathroom and the second-floor attic room via a pull-down ladder. All four bedrooms comfortably accommodate double beds and feature stylish, practical built-in wardrobes. The two rear bedrooms each enjoy elevated views across the village to the sea and benefit from well-appointed en suite shower rooms. A contemporary family bathroom with double-ended bath and freestanding filler tap completes the first-floor accommodation. Throughout the property, the attention to detail is evident, from 6-amp lighting circuits in the living and kitchen/dining rooms to Cat5 ethernet cabling in both rear bedrooms, the ground-floor study/bedroom and kitchen. High-quality tiled and engineered oak flooring enhances the ground floor, while quartz window sills in the main bedroom's en suite and the family bathroom, along with a display niche beside the bath, add further refinement. Subtle stair-tread lighting to the staircase elevates the overall finish whilst all three bath/shower rooms feature heated towel rails, tiled floors and walls, and illuminated mirrors further enhancing the feeling of quality and style.
Outside, the property enjoys well-tended, landscaped gardens to the front and rear, with a block-paved driveway providing parking for up to three cars. The rear garden features a generous lawn bordered by attractively planted flower and shrub beds, while a substantial composite-decked entertaining terrace is perfectly positioned to enjoy the sunny aspect and includes a recessed area designed to accommodate a large hot tub or swim spa if desired.
