House For Sale £650,000
Nestling in the midst of about three quarters of an acre of gardens is this delightful 1920s detached family home that backs onto the Ningwood Nature Reserve, on the outskirts of Cranmore. It is approached via a 33-metre drive where you can park up to a dozen cars and a vast front lawn, so it is a good distance from the main road, making it a very quiet and peaceful environment.There is a charming arched entrance porch and period front door that leads to the long hall with the original staircase, with access to the rear garden and wood flooring that flows throughout the ground floor. A very large, triple aspect lounge/sitting area with a wide archway in between is impressive. It has a box bay window and a fireplace you can cosy up to on a winter's evening in the sitting area and the light and bright lounge at the other end with excellent views across the rear garden and the countryside beyond.The large kitchen/dining room is equally delightful with its attractive pale blue units housing a variety of appliances including a built-in double oven, gas hob and dishwasher with a good-sized dining area with plenty of built-in shelving. There is also an adjacent utility room with laundry facilities.Off the galleried landing you will find the newly configured first floor accommodation that includes the family shower room, a single bedroom that would make an ideal study or nursery and three double bedrooms. One has a wall of fitted wardrobes so makes an excellent dressing room while the main bedroom has an en suite double shower and French doors to a Juliette balcony, providing wonderful views over the Nature Reserve.The large rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with a few trees and shrub borders so is quite easy to maintain. However, there is also a vast paved terrace for outdoor entertaining and relaxing in the sunshine or watching the amazing sunsets.What the Owner says:
We bought this house a few years ago when we were increasingly spending time on the island. We love the semi-rural location and the convenience of public transport at the end of the drive that goes to Newport or Yarmouth so we are not isolated. We could also see the potential of the large garden and spacious and contemporary ground floor accommodation. The sunsets from our garden are beautiful and we love outdoor living, we view the garden as an extension to our living space and love dining outside in the summer months. We have been delighted to bring our gardens to life with the peace and tranquillity of the open countryside beyond the property. We have also updated the inside of our home with new bathrooms, reconfiguring the bedrooms and installing a Juliette balcony with views across the countryside from the main bedroom, we have lovingly modernised and updated our home both inside and out.
Our children are now leaving home so we feel it is time to downsize, although we shall be staying in the same area as we love the West Wight. There are plenty of areas to go for lovely walks and it is not far to the beach and only a five minutes' drive to Yarmouth. The village of Shalfleet is only a short distance with a choice of a couple of country pubs, equally we are close to Yarmouth which offers the views of the local harbour and solent, there's a good primary school locally and an excellent village shop selling a range of local produce.
