House For Sale £525,000
Tucked away within the peaceful woodland setting of Alverstone Garden Village, this fabulous three-bedroom bungalow offers an exciting opportunity for further modernisation and boasts a secluded woodland garden as well as a generous driveway.
Positioned in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Woodlands occupies a spacious plot and offers an idyllic family lifestyle in a highly desirable location. Providing an absolute nature haven for local wildlife, the tranquil and secluded woodland garden to the rear offers plenty of potential to get creative with and has recently been made more accessible with the addition of sloped winding pathways that lead down through the terraced landscape. This delightful bungalow sits at the heart of rural walks with a bridleway situated beyond the garden boundary leading to miles of stunning countryside and woodland rambles.
Throughout the 38 years the current owners have happily lived here, the property has been well-maintained when required including recent electrical rewiring throughout the majority of the property, a replacement roof has been completed within the last couple of years, some of the rooms have freshly painted walls, and the double glazing has been replaced as and when needed. A substantial block paved driveway to the front comes complete with a detached garage which benefits from an electric roller shutter door and an upgraded roof which were both installed within the last two years. Furthermore, the plot offers plenty of potential to extend to the side and rear elevation, or into the loft space if desired (subject to gaining planning permission).
Located between Sandown and Newchurch, the highly desirable Alverstone Garden Village is set within the Youngwoods Copse and is in close proximity to unspoilt woodlands, nature reserves and an abundance of countryside walks. The Alverstone village store is just a short drive from the property and the towns of Shanklin and Sandown are located under five miles away where you will find a variety of shops, restaurants, pubs and expansive sandy beaches. The Island’s historical county town of Newport can be reached within a 20-minute drive and also provides plenty of high street amenities, highly regarded eateries and a cinema complex.
The accommodation is well-arranged with an entrance hall leading to a spacious kitchen, a generous split-level living area, a contemporary shower room and to each of the three bedrooms which are conveniently located together on one side of the property.

Perfect for nature lovers and keen gardeners, this generous terraced garden presents plenty of unique outside space to get creative with and provides an absolute nature haven with frequent visits from a host of local wildlife including a variety of wild birds and the island’s cheeky red squirrel residents which are an absolute delight to watch! An elevated terrace directly to the rear of the property has been recently paved with lovely Spanish quartzite slabs and there is an additional hardstanding area to further expand the paved area if desired. Curving through the mature oak trees and passing a fabulous monkey puzzle tree as well as a mature tree fern, a meandering pathway leads the way through each of the terraced levels and out of sight to the bottom of the garden where a bridleway to miles of countryside walks can be easily accessed. Additionally, the rear garden benefits from an external tap and power point, and lantern-style lights recently fitted to the external walls of the property. There is also access to the garage through a partially glazed door.
Parking
A generous block paved driveway provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles and there is a single-sized garage with power points and lighting, providing the option to be utilised as a workshop. The garage also benefits from an electric roller shutter door and its own electrical consumer unit.
