House For Sale £535,000
Douglas End
The property occupies a great location, perched up on Institute Hill above the village and backing onto a small farm which provides really exceptional views and a private setting, whilst having a good range of facilities including the village primary school, pub, shop, post office and pharmacy all within a few minutes walk. Niton is surrounded by some of the Island's most picturesque countryside and coastline, including around nearby St Catherine's Lighthouse where there is access to various bays and coves.
The house was extensively renovated and extended by the current owners, now providing well-presented, modernised accommodation. It has been reconfigured to make the most of the exceptional views with really light accommodation. The renovations included installation of new UPVC double glazed windows throughout, new electrical, plumbing and heating systems in addition to a new kitchen (with matching utility units) and bathroom facilities, making for a really comfortable and efficient home. There are terraces and a level lawned garden adjacent to the house whilst adjacent is a sloping paddock with a unique outbuilding and in all extends to around half an acre.
