House For Sale £650,000
This property is an elegant detached late Victorian villa located in a Conservation Area in Brading, one of the oldest villages on the Isle of Wight and only a few miles from Ryde. The property is set back from the road in an elevated position so you can enjoy panoramic views across to Bembridge Harbour, Culver Down and Sandown Bay. It includes attractive external features such as bay and sash windows and is approached through a gate with a pair of impressive stone pillars and a path flanked by shrub borders leading to the arched entrance portico and the beautiful stained glass front door. Once inside you can begin to appreciate all the delightful interior period features from a bygone era including fireplaces, picture and dado rails, an original staircase with a carved banister and ornate cornicing that give this property its special character.

Across the hall you will find a relaxing sitting area with an attractive stone fireplace, a large bay window and steps down to the elegant lounge that also includes a stone fireplace and a bay window as well as a door to the patio and also one to an inner lobby. This leads to the well-proportioned kitchen with its range cooker and delightful pale blue units housing a fridge and dishwasher and the vast, wraparound conservatory that makes an ideal additional seating and dining area.

Off the first-floor galleried landing is a charming stained-glass window, a family bathroom and a double bedroom with an original fireplace as well as a doorway to an additional cloakroom and two further double bedrooms including the main bedroom with an en suite shower room and a walk-in wardrobe/dressing area.

As well as the terrace for al fresco dining it is mainly laid to lawn with secluded areas provided by high hedging as well as lovely mature trees and shrubs. At the side of the property is a driveway for off road parking that leads to the garage.
What the Owner says:
This has been a wonderful home and I have thoroughly enjoyed my 18 years living here. However, I feel it is time to down size and hope new owners will not only enjoy everything this property has to offer but maybe have the opportunity to develop it further. For example, there is the potential to create an additional garage/workshop or office/studio at the end of the garden with access to Church Lane.
Brading is a small town, one of the oldest on the Island, and stands on the side of the Downs and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The area provides many places to walk and ride with spectacular views. There are many delightful buildings including the Norman Church, The Old Town Hall with the original stocks, and also the Town Pound and historic Bull Ring. One of the local pubs, Yarbridge Inn is noted for its range of Real Ales, and there is also a small Supermarket / Convenience store, eating places, small shops, a Post Office, a Toy museum and a good Primary School. There are several active groups with interests including Art and Local History. There is a frequent train service to Sandown / Shanklin, and to Ryde where it connects with the fast passenger ferry to Portsmouth from the pier head. Ryde is the largest town on the Island and provides a range of activities throughout the year, and a full range of shops including a Tesco Extra super store. Nearby Bembridge also has a range of shops and eating places, and is an important venue for sailing.
