House For Sale £550,000
This extended and modernised chalet bungalow is a true delight and offers plenty of flexible accommodation. It is in the village of Binstead on the outskirts of Ryde and backs onto the local countryside with lovely rural views. The property is set well back from the road and is approached via a long, block paved driveway flanked by the front lawn and mature shrub borders.
The cream coloured cedral cement cladding provides a charming exterior to the bungalow and the attractive tiled corridor with dado height panelling leads to all the rooms on the ground floor, including the spacious inner hall with its oak style flooring. This flows through most of the property including the large and contemporary open plan cedar clad kitchen/dining room extension with three large bi-folding doors to the terrace and a large kitchen area containing glossy white units housing a variety of appliances. There is an adjacent fitted utility room and a side door to the garden.
A dual aspect lounge with an attractive bay window and fireplace with a wood burning stove is very relaxing. Also on the ground floor is a trendy family shower room, three double bedrooms including one with an en suite shower and a walk-in wardrobe/dressing room. The staircase leads to the main bedroom suite on the first floor with its stand-alone bath, en suite cloakroom and walk-in wardrobe/dressing room.
A good sized workshop/garden shed is adjacent to a beautifully constructed annex incorporating a well-stocked bar and games room. As well as the sandstone terrace there is also a brick built patio and a large lawn backing onto fields with trees and mature shrubs. The driveway provides off road parking for about three cars while the gravel hard standing beyond the side gate is large enough for a caravan or motorhome.
What the Owner says:
We bought the property as a renovation project some five years ago and are very proud of our efforts. We created the principal suite on the first floor and built the rear extension as well as the annex to provide a wonderful family home. However most of our family have now ‘flown the nest' so it is time to downsize and look for another project. It is a great location and Binstead is a friendly village with a general store and post office as well as a primary school and two recreational fields. We can walk to Dame Anthony's Common, the beach and Quarr Abbey and it is only half a mile to the Fleming Arms pub if you want a drink and a pleasant meal without having to take the car out.
We are less than two miles from the centre of the charming town of Ryde with its quirky mix of Victorian architecture and traditional seaside entertainment. It includes a wide selection of independent shops, a plethora of bars, cafes and restaurants and, unlike some places on the island, it is a hive of activity all year round with a variety of events from the Classic Car Show and the August Bank Holiday scooter show to a selection of concerts. There are a number of great beaches around Ryde but Appley beach is stunning with long stretches of sand bordered by the park that includes Appley Tower and a playground for young children.
