House For Sale £415,000
This delightful two-bedroom detached bungalow is set in an idyllic semi-rural village location and offers an exciting opportunity for a new owner to cosmetically transform a home to their own personal taste.
Set in the village of Havenstreet, Meadowbrook is a two-bedroom freehold bungalow offering lots of potential, providing a wonderful opportunity to create a fabulous home in a peaceful yet central location. Spacious accommodation offers flexible layout options, and generously proportioned gardens front and rear enhance the feeling of space and create a private, peaceful setting.
Havenstreet became popular in the Victorian period, evolving into a quintessentially English village, centred around the charming White Hart Inn, the Steam Railway station and the village recreation ground. Surrounded by an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, providing rural pursuits in all directions, Havenstreet has its own book, 'God's Own Acre', who's author perfectly summarises the village in his opening chapter: 'When I look back on warm, summer days playing cricket on the village recreation ground, gazing out at the wonderful vista provided by Kemphill and the downs in the distance, with steam trains chugging through the trees to and from the station; or playing for what seemed like weeks on end in the peace and seclusion of the Mesh during school holidays, it is difficult to believe some divine being did not have a hand in its creation.' Havenstreet is conveniently located close to the popular town of Ryde, with its well-regarded schools, boutique shopping, long sandy beaches and high-speed links to the mainland. Fishbourne is just a short drive from the property, and provides a vehicle ferry link to Portsmouth.
Accommodation is all on one level and comprises a welcoming entrance hall, two double bedrooms, a spacious lounge, kitchen, dining room, family bathroom and a rear porch.
