House For Sale £795,000
Merstone Lane, Merstone, Newport, Isle of Wight

Completely remodelled from top to bottom by a highly respected master builder, who has lived on the Isle of Wight all his life and been involved with many local prestige projects, with a view to it being his family's ‘forever' home, this stunning property has now become available, owing to a change of direction. As you can no doubt envisage the refurbishment has been undertaken to the highest standard incorporating top quality materials and high-end fixtures and fittings including oak doors and cupboard fronts as well as a bespoke oak staircase, new Karndean flooring and rain showers. All the floors have been taken up and relayed, there is new wiring and plumbing throughout as well as modern wall insulation and a new septic tank. So this superb property is now ready for new owners to move straight into with nothing to do except hang their pictures. Even some of the bespoke and hand-built furniture is remaining and other items are available by separate negotiation.

Set well back from the road in the charming hamlet of Merstone, the property is surrounded by countryside and a cycle path that goes from Cowes to Sandown. It is approached via a driveway, flanked by a front lawn, that leads to the double garage and off-road parking for about four or five vehicles. With its new roof, clean lines, contrasting charcoal grey and white exterior and anthracite grey window frames this lovely chalet bungalow definitely stands out from its neighbours and the contemporary design continues once you open the modern front door.

If you like catering the kitchen is a real joy with its breakfast bar and flush light grey units housing high end appliances. These include a Bosch induction hob with a fascinating splash back and extractor fan, a built-in double oven and microwave as well as an American fridge freezer with an ice maker and water dispenser, a wine cooler and a Quooker tap for instant hot water and filtered drinking water.

Outside the rear garden is completely fenced and there is a delightful curved slate terrace for al fresco entertaining that leads to the spacious lawn. This is bordered by shrubs beds and fruit trees with a delightful fishpond housing a myriad of goldfish as a charming focal point. There are also raised beds and a new high-end greenhouse.

What the Owner says:
It has been a ‘labour of love' completely renovating and extending our home over the last four years as we thought we would spend our retirement years here enjoying everything we have done to create this special place. However, our plans have changed so we hope that new owners will appreciate and enjoy everything this contemporary family home has to offer.
The rural hamlet of Merstone is a charming place to live as we are surrounded by countryside an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty but it is not far to Blackwater village with its useful farm shop and the Chequers Inn and it is only about four miles to Newport. Being near the centre of the island, it is easy to get to most places including the ferry ports, beaches and nearby Godshill with its quaint shops, tearooms, pubs and restaurants as well as a renowned model village.
Newport includes a variety of high street stores and independent shops as well as wide selection of restaurants and bars. There is a weekly street market and a farmers' market and a number of primary and secondary schools within the vicinity. We are not far from the Shide Nature Reserve and the walks or cycle rides along the River Medina are a real pleasure while the Newport Golf Club is available for golfing enthusiasts.
