Description
A spacious family home with original period character and enclosed garden situated on a sought after road which leads to the beach.
Culverdene is a particularly charming detached house constructed around 1900 and with a wealth of original period features and character. The property has been in the ownership of one family and never released to the open market, it now offers an ideal opportunity for a family in a particularly popular spot only 200 metres from the sea and with great potential for modernising or further extending to refurbish into a comfortable family home. Extending to 130m2 the property offers a generous layout of up to four bedrooms, all excellent size doubles and there is also a separate sitting room, an option for a downstairs dining room and the original kitchen with larder and walk in store to the rear. A tarmacadam driveway offers off-road parking for two cars and the gardens at the rear are fenced, private and enclosed with potential for further landscaping.
Culverdene is superbly located in close proximity to Lane End Beach and slipway and within easy walk of the coastal path. Bembridge boasts incredible views across The Solent and English Channel and is surrounded by miles of downland perfect for countryside walks. Bembridge Harbour has extensive mooring facilities and two sailing clubs, and creates a bustling atmosphere with fishing boats and pleasure craft. There are numerous beaches in the area, National Trust sites and a vibrant village which has a good range of small shops for everyday needs, including an excellent fishmonger, with freshly caught fish off the boats, a butcher, delicatessen and several good restaurants. 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). The Fast Cat and Hover Craft, providing high speed passenger links to Portsmouth, is located in Ryde, providing access to the mainland in under 10 minutes.
