House For Sale £850,000
Situated on the picturesque Love Lane and yet a conveniently short walk from village amenities, sailing club and beaches, Tall House is an ideal family home or 'lock up and leave' holiday home. Arranged over three floors offering five bedrooms (and sleeping up to 11), with a well-proportioned sitting room with deep bay window, dining room and kitchen opening through to an enclosed walled garden, Tall House has been exceptionally well maintained, highlighting an array of period charm including high ceilings, ornate alcoves, and bespoke carpentry. A considerable amount of expenditure over the current owner's 25-year tenure includes a full suite of timber double glazed sash windows (2020), annual redecoration throughout, considerable works to roofs, flooring, lighting and electrics and central heating system, as well as comprehensive door and window security. The gardens are pretty, while being exceedingly low maintenance, with a deceptively extensive range of entertaining space as well as innovative storage for dinghy/boats and sailing equipment. Converted loft space on two floors also provides excellent, insulated, accessible storage with lighting.
Tall House can be found on a quiet lane that leads by foot to the beach (approx. 5 minutes) and to Bembridge Sailing Club also within walking distance (approx. 8 minutes) via the off-road lanes. The property is nevertheless a very short walk from the village centre with its family run butcher, café, fishmongers, farm shop, pubs and convenience store. Directly from the property, the lanes and coastal path access nearby sandy beaches and beyond to some of the island's most stunning spots, including Whitecliff and Priory Bay beaches or inland to rspb marsh and downland.
