House For Sale £650,000
We are always told ‘you shouldn't judge a book by its cover' and that is definitely the case with this fascinating single storey dwelling. You need to step over the threshold to really appreciate everything this veritable Tardis of a delightful property has to offer. With its modern annex and welcoming feel it makes a spacious family home with flexible accommodation that could provide up to five bedrooms or a delightful weekend retreat with income generating opportunities. It has stunning countryside views and is approached via a driveway that provides off road parking.
The reception hall leads to the corridor and the kitchen/dining room. With its beamed ceiling and bay window as well as a central island with wine racks and beautiful wood country style units, it is full of character and includes a brand new range cooker and integrated Neff dishwasher.
There is double door access from the kitchen/dining room into the dual aspect lounge that continues the characterful theme with wood flooring, a beamed ceiling and a feature brick wall, incorporating a Bressumer beam, a fireplace with a multi-fuel burner and French doors to the decked terrace. The main property includes a family bathroom and three double bedrooms. One has mirror fronted sliding wardrobes and a modern en suite shower room while the master has fitted cupboards and en suite shower.
Sympathetically built to match with the original property, the annex provides a large kitchen/dining room, a separate lounge and a double bedroom and bathroom. However it could be incorporated into the main home but currently makes a wonderful separate home for relatives, guests, office facilities or a holiday let.
The easy-to-manage garden backs onto farmland and has a swim spa beside the raised decked terrace where you can sit and enjoy al fresco dining and the amazing sunsets. Steps lead down to a good sized lawn with an in-ground trampoline and a garden shed.
What the Owner says:
We used to pass the house on our way to work and felt really drawn to it and after viewing the inside we fell in love with it there and then. It has been a wonderful family home for 11 years but reluctantly we have to move back to the mainland, otherwise we would never leave. During our time here we have built the extension which has added an extra dimension to our home and provided accommodation flexibility and income generating opportunities as an Air BnB. The garden is west facing having incredible views over to the mainland and beyond and we experience amazing sunsets. After all this time, we still marvel at them every evening. The village of Calbourne is delightful with a very supportive community and a short walk takes you to the very friendly Sun Inn pub. There is also a garage, the only working mill on the island and the 9th century church as well as the Westover cricket team for anyone who enjoys the sound of leather on willow. We are only a few miles from Newport and Freshwater while nearby Brighstone has some charming individual shops. Freshwater includes Tescos and other established shops as well as the Freshwater Bay Golf Club, Freshwater Sports Club and the West Bay Country Club and Spa in Yarmouth. While Newport, as the island's county town, has a variety of high street stores and independent shops as well as wide selection of restaurants and bars.
