Boasting stunning sea views in this upmarket location, this beautiful three-bedroom bungalow has been recently renovated to a high standard and is conveniently situated close to sandy beaches and a wide range of village amenities.
Situated in a prime position in a quiet residential area, The Lookout represents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully renovated seaside family home in one of the most desirable locations on the Isle of Wight. The property is superbly located in an elevated position to maximise the spectacular sea views across the bustling Solent which can be enjoyed from a fabulous lounge with an impressive balcony providing the perfect observation deck. Over the past year, it has been beautifully upgraded to now offer a luxurious coastal home with its contemporary marine-blue kitchen complete with appliances, a replastered interior finished in a coastal-inspired colour palette, smart internal doors and high-quality flooring throughout. Additionally, the property benefits from being rewired, external lighting has been replaced, and there is new insulation as well as a completely upgraded gas central heating system to ensure a cosy and energy-efficient home. Outside, the rear garden now enjoys fresh planting and a fabulous sun deck from which to soak up the sunshine and admire the sea views beyond. The pretty front garden incorporates an ample driveway with a double garage for vehicle or boat parking and a smart gravel pathway leading to the side elevation has been created to continue the coastal-inspired theme of this gorgeous seaside home.
Located in the village of Nettlestone, the property is just a short stroll away from the wonderful sandy beach of Seagrove Bay which sits between Seaview beach and the secluded hidden gem of Priory Bay with its expanse of golden sands, making it popular for a whole range of beach activities and water sports. The gently sloping beach has a slipway running down into the sea, providing a regular launching platform for boats. The Lookout is perfectly situated to easily access a wide range of amenities in both the village of Seaview and Nettlestone with a well-stocked local convenience store nearby, a highly reputable primary school and bus route 8, which links Nettlestone village to the towns of Ryde, Newport and Sandown. The highly regarded coastal village of Seaview has a fantastic Edwardian promenade which enjoys beautiful views across the Solent, glorious sandy beaches and the renowned Seaview Yacht Club. There are plenty of opportunities for coastal cycling or walking in the area, and even a spot of bird watching at the nearby Hersey Nature Reserve where a whole host of local wildlife including King Fishers have been spotted. Seaview village offers a range of conveniences including a community grocery shop, a renowned coffee shop and a gastropub, a pharmacist complete with a post office, and the celebrated Seaview Hotel Restaurant and Bar. The nearby towns of Ryde and Fishbourne provide regular car ferry links and high-speed foot passenger travel links for those quick trips across the Solent to the mainland.
The well-arranged accommodation consists of a long hallway at the heart of the home creating access to a spacious lounge with a balcony, three double bedrooms, a contemporary kitchen, and a bathroom with a separate adjacent cloakroom.
