Large Detached Four Bedroomed Family Home
With three reception rooms and extensive gardens which including patios, pond, garage and garden store. Located in a peaceful road within desirable Gurnard, which is a pretty coastal village that lies to the west of the famous yachting town of Cowes with good mainland connections via a fast speed foot passenger service to Southampton.

A fabulous array of countryside and coastal paths are all within easy walking distance.
Approaching The Property
Set in a quiet residential road the property is deceptively large, initially looking like an Edwardian/Victorian single storey 'villa' with original ornately patterned floor tiles stretching across the frontage under a tiled sloping roof with white pillar supports. A waist height brick wall curves around the front garden that contains a grassed area and mature plants and shrubs. A driveway to the side of the property has room for at least 4 vehicles and leads to the detached garage with electric door. Stepping up onto the verandah you are sheltered by the roof all across the fore of the building, and to the right of the building is the original sturdy wooden entrance door with its glass viewing panels either side and obscured central pane.
Ground Floor
Entering a hallway with a double height ceiling and an oak staircase with glass balustrades, there is an immediate change from the period features on the exterior of the property. Throughout this floor the layout is flexible and generous, the large cream porcelain tiles have underfloor heating beneath them and flow from the hallway through the lounge and into the kitchen and dining area. With neutral decor and high ceilings, tall column radiators, large glass patio doors, it makes it a very light and spacious open plan living, entertaining and sizeable modern home. From the lobby area there is a double bedroom immediately ahead with the communual areas accessed via a doorway on the left of the very practical hallway with plenty of space for coats, boots and storage. A further double bedroom with double full height glass bay doors overlooking the front of the property, leads from the sitting area and has an ensuite shower room.
Through oak double doors another reception room, again with the full height bay doors, gives further space but with added privacy. A utility room houses the 'Vaillant' boiler, gives plenty of storage space, has space and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer, as well as containing a WC. The kitchen is long, wide and very bright with a multitude of white gloss wall and floor units topped with a blue stone worksurface. Double sliding glass doors at the rear of the room look out into the garden and open onto a great outside dining and entertaining area.
First Floor
A large hallway with several windows bathing it in light, giving access to the two bright and airy, very generously sized, double bedrooms on this floor. The main bedroom has a large ensuite bathroom with a modern white suite including two basins, separate shower cubicle and fantastic free standing bath, the other bedroom has an ensuite shower room in a similar modern style. Both these bedrooms have tall double patio doors than open onto a shared glass panelled balcony with chrome handrails and supports, thus giving an unfetted view to the garden below and beyond. This peaceful and tranquil area has rubber matting underfoot and an apex roof above from which you can appreciate the views, especially the sunrise over Gurnard.
Rear Garden
This end of this extensive garden cannot be seen as you exit the house, it snakes and winds away with glades and pathways leading to secret areas. Adjacent to the house are two patio areas that are fantastic spaces for entertaining and relaxing. There is a pond with water plants surrounding and submerged within, as well as a built up herb garden. A low picket fence is the boundary to the main garden and the generous plot beyond. This beautiful garden is full of mature trees and plants such as grasses, magnolia bushes and palm trees in addition to the orchard which includes a 'Pink Lady' as well as another 3-4 apple trees. The fruit theme continues with a pear and fig tree, which has a vegetable patch adjacent. To the rear of the garage is a further storage area. Within this idyllic garden are childrens swings and a tree house. A truely wonderful outdoor area that is a peaceful place to play, cultivate, relax and enjoy.
