Description
An exceptionally well positioned house with a separate, detached cottage and planning permission to extend, in the highly sought-after village of Brook on the South West coast - just a short walk from miles of unspoilt sandy coastline.
The property has been the subject of recent improvements and offers good quality/flexible accommodation with the additional benefit of planning permission (P/01198/17 - granted 23 Nov. 2017) to add a large single storey extension at the rear of the property. The Clock House is a contemporary and well presented 'Skandia Hus House' detached property approached via a gravelled drive and set in large mature and well-kept gardens approaching an acre. This is a well-proportioned house that offers a high level of natural light, with four double bedrooms, the master benefits from a bathroom en-suite.
The village of Brook is one of the most sought after on the Isle of Wight. It offers excellent access to miles of some of the finest countryside and coastline in the country. Its within the Islands AONB, and the coastline here is designated a Heritage Coast, furthermore, much of the land in this area is under the ownership of The National Trust. Brook Beach (approx. 500m from the property) offers access to around 12 miles of south facing and truly stunning coast and is perfect for swimming, kitesurfing, paddle boarding, walking, fishing and rock pooling. There is also excellent access to The Downs for mountain biking, walking, running and cycling. Brook has a pub, village hall and church - all within close walking distance of the property. The nearby and popular village of Brighstone is about a mile from the property and has the benefit of local shops, a church, doctors' surgery and a public house.
Offering well laid out accommodation, the ground floor opens out from a good-sized hallway to three spacious reception rooms which look out over the private lawned gardens, a good-sized kitchen/breakfast room with separate utility, a downstairs fifth bedroom/study and shower room. A short walk from the house is a detached two-bedroom cottage which has been successfully used for holiday letting by the current owners, but would also serve well for accommodation for extended family etc.
