3 bed Flat For Sale £350,000
Alum Bay House is believed to originate from the 1600's and is situated in a spectacular rural area with panoramic views over surrounding countryside and western reaches of the Solent, with the Dorset coast in the distance. This particular apartment takes full advantage of the glorious views with a large roof terrace providing a wonderful, elevated outlook over fields to the sea. The side windows of the property look towards the heather-covered slopes of Headon Warren. The accommodation offers great flexibility with three double bedrooms (one en suite), a comfortable sitting room, kitchen, and a bathroom. Outside there are large communal grounds where one can sit and enjoy the views of High Down, Headon Warren and the sea, together with views to Tennyson's monument on Tennyson Down from the large communal former croquet lawn to the rear of Alum Bay House. In addition, each property has its own timber garden store in the grounds and the gravelled communal car park provides ample parking for residents and visitors with two allocated parking spaces for each property.
Set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, much of the surrounding land is controlled by the National Trust and there is direct access to the coastal path and unrivalled country and coastal walks from which the stunning scenery and sea views can be enjoyed. The Highdown Inn public house is close by and the local shops and beach in Totland Bay are within a mile. The shops, services and amenities in Freshwater village are within a short drive, together with the car ferry terminal in the historic harbour town of Yarmouth which provides access to the mainland with rail links from Lymington through to London.
