House For Sale £1,650,000
This unique property has been beautifully converted from kennels into a delightful family home. It is an ‘oasis of calm' surrounded by about 3.1 acres of grounds including orchards, lawns and ancient protected woodland but is not far from Cowes or Gurnard beach.
A pair of grey pillars leads to a large courtyard and the front door. Once inside you can appreciate the spacious, semi open plan layout. It is very light and bright with large picture windows in many of the rooms as well as French and bi-folding doors. This is well illustrated in the dual aspect lounge that includes wood flooring and underfloor heating that flows through much of the ground floor as well as French doors to the garden and bi-folding doors to the courtyard.
There is a shower room, cloakroom, utility room and a kitchen with bi-folding doors and includes a central island breakfast bar, a Rangemaster cooker and units with appliances. It opens into the office and through to the vast open plan dining area with stairs to the first floor and a log burner. There is open access to the stunning garden room and an archway to the double aspect sitting room. The first floor includes the family bathroom and five bedrooms. There is the dual aspect main bedroom with a vaulted ceiling and an en suite bathroom and another stunning double with full height cathedral style windows and French doors to a balcony.
One of the two separate brick buildings is a guest annex with a double bedroom and an en suite shower and the other includes an attic. There is a large lawn and terrace, a delightful summerhouse with lighting and power that could always be used as an office, a carport with electricity and hard standing for off road parking.
What the Owner says:
We moved here some eight years ago as my husband was an avid sailor and we are within walking distance of Cowes with its independent shops, chandlers, bars and restaurants. We were also keen on the eco-friendly aspects of the property that include a heat pump, well, underfloor heating, solar panels and our own wood to feed the log burner. I love the peace and quiet as well as the privacy and the fact I can take the dogs on wonderful walks either within the grounds or down to the quaint Gurnard beach with its green-coloured beach huts and children's playground. If you want to have a drink and a meal out without having to take the car you can wander along to The Woodvale where, not only can you enjoy good food, but it also stunning views across the Solent. There are also excellent primary and secondary schools as well as the Priory private school in the area and a nearby golf course.
