Description
Occupying an idyllic and central spot in Bembridge Village, this fully refurbished two bedroomed period house offers well-proportioned, characterful accommodation, highly suitable for holiday letting.
Uniquely styled interiors and filled with period character, Ducie View is an attractive Edwardian cottage in the centre of the village overlooking Ducie Avenue, providing easy access to Ducie beach. The property has been extended to the rear to provide excellent family entertaining space. It was extensively refurbished in 2021 including new double-glazed windows, new bathrooms and heating system. Downstairs it also has a newly refurbished semi-open plan kitchen, dining room, cloakroom WC and office. Overlooking the front patio is a well-proportioned sitting room with an open fire. Upstairs are two well-proportioned bedrooms, one with an ensuite bathroom, the other with its own WC. The south facing rear gardens are beautifully landscaped and provide an attractive entertaining space. Whilst the property has not previously been listed as a holiday let, it possesses the qualities and location to do so in this popular holiday village.
Ducie View is only a short walk from the village centre. 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 bakery, a refillery and several good restaurants. Bembridge Harbour has extensive mooring facilities and two sailing clubs. There are wonderful coastal walks, and sandy beaches directly accessible from the end of Ducie Avenue. The beaches are perfect for swimming, kite-surfing, paddle boarding and beach-combing. 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.
