House For Sale £325,000
Nestled in an idyllic coastal village with picturesque views, this charming semi-detached home offers flexible living accommodation and an exciting opportunity to make your own.
A much-loved, long-term family home for the past 55 years, this former farm cottage presents a peaceful village lifestyle on the outskirts of Brighstone and offers a fantastic opportunity to upgrade and reconfigure to your own specifications. With two generously proportioned double bedrooms on the first floor, the ground floor accommodation boasts ample living space comprising three reception rooms which offer plenty of versatility and could even provide a third bedroom if required. The ground floor also hosts a bathroom adjacent to a separate w.c. offering potential to combine the two rooms, and a kitchen which conveniently connects with a handy utility room, providing a separate laundry space or an opportunity to merge the spaces to create a larger kitchen. Enjoying either rural or coastal views, the two first floor bedrooms offer the potential to create an additional bathroom or en-suite. Furthermore, the property benefits from well-maintained double glazing which has been replaced approximately four years ago, electric heaters including modern Fischer radiators, and fireplaces within two of the reception rooms, offering an opportunity to create cosy open fires or install log burning stoves.
Outside, the property is set within a delightful garden setting with a spacious garden to the front and a good-sized garden to the rear, frequented by small wild birds. The front of the plot also incorporates a long driveway leading to a detached timber-built garage.
Situated just a short walk from the centre of the bustling rural village of Brighstone, in the heart of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Ivastone is conveniently placed to access the local amenities which include a newsagent and a general village store with a post office, an excellent pub, and a medieval church dating back to the twelfth century, along with a GP surgery, recreational ground with tennis courts, and a primary school. The rugged south-west coastline of the Island is within walking distance with miles of unspoilt beaches to explore. An extensive network of footpaths and bridleways connect rolling chalk downland and a string of pretty villages and hamlets with panoramic views of the whole area from the downs. A bus service connects Brighstone to Newport and Freshwater, and the mainland car ferry to Lymington connection is approximately a 20-minute drive from Ivastone.
