Description
Situated on one of the most sought-after roads in Bembridge which leads to the beach this handsome period property offers well-proportioned accommodation and pretty gardens.
Constructed in approximately 1920 Cedar Cottage is a substantial and fascinating family home boasting generous reception rooms, high ceilings with period features including picture rails and original doors, wooden floors, skirting and architraves. Excellent spaces include a large sitting room, dining room and kitchen / breakfast room in addition to a dining room/study and five large bedrooms on the first floor with two bathrooms. Gardens extend to the front, side and rear and there is plenty of off-road parking while the beach and coastal path is a short walk away. This characterful period property provides extensive and comfortable accommodation but equally represents an opportunity for any buyer to remodel or extend to enhance the property where there is also scope for conversion of the loft space to increase accommodation further (subject to the necessary planning approvals and building certification).
The location is idyllic, just moments from the sandy beaches of Bembridge and minutes from excellent walking routes on coastal paths to the village center and Harbour. Bembridge Harbour has extensive mooring facilities and two sailing clubs, whilst the village has a good range of shops, in addition to a butchers, fish mongers, farm shop, cafes and restaurants. There are high speed passenger ferry links to (22mins) Portsmouth from Ryde approximately 7 miles away.
