House For Sale £325,000
Situated in a quiet residential area of the popular village of Bembridge, this quaint two-bedroom bungalow has been beautifully refurbished and maintained with stunning modern interiors and offers a charming garden and driveway parking.
Believed to have been built in the 1950’s this charming two-bedroom bungalow has been beautifully refurbished and maintained over the three years the current owner has lived here. A series of work has been completed over the three years including the addition of several Velux windows in the open plan living space and bedroom one, two sliding doors were added into the second bedroom, the front door and windows were replaced, and an en-suite was added to bedroom one. In addition to that work, the property has also been reroofed with new tiles, a new membrane, and added insulation which gives the new owner a piece of mind. The open plan living space offers a fantastic, naturally light room which has had a log burner added within the chimney breast around three years ago. The property has been well maintained over the years to offer stylish, modern interiors and the garden has been sympathetically landscaped with artificial grass, composite decking, and a large summerhouse, which was added three years ago.
Enjoying an enviable position in this highly sought-after location, the property is conveniently located just outside of this bustling village with a great range of amenities located right on the doorstep including a convenience store with a post office, a popular deli and cafe, a beauty salon and a hairdresser, a local C of E Primary school, and a doctors surgery. Bembridge is also home to some highly regarded cafes, pubs, takeaways and restaurants for the days when you don’t fancy cooking and the historical heart of the village is located just a ten-minute walk away providing an array of independent shops and great local businesses to discover. Hope Cottage is just a short walk to Lane End Beach which enjoys a great seaside café, a sandy beach with rock pools to explore and an impressive pier plus a lifeboat station which is open to the public. Bembridge Harbour has extensive mooring facilities and two busy sailing clubs, offering social events throughout the year. Furthermore, this home is the perfect base for nearby countryside walks, amongst which are Bembridge Windmill, maintained by The National Trust, Culver Down with its breath-taking views and the beautiful, sheltered cove at Whitecliff Bay. Mainland travel links from Fishbourne car ferry are within a 30 minute drive and the foot passenger ferry link from Ryde is within a 20 minute drive from the property.
The accommodation comprises an entrance hall leading to two bedrooms (one with an en-suite), the shower room, and the open plan living area with the kitchen.
