A fabulous 3 bedroom bungalow which has been remodelled in recent years, and is located on a sought after lane close to the centre of the delightful historic village of Brighstone.

A newly constructed summer house has been positioned in the north-west corner of the plot delivering a fine aspect across the well landscaped garden. The spacious accommodation has been improved by the installation of a new bathroom shower room and kitchen with an open-plan Dining/Garden room overlooking the well-planted rear garden. It is situated within walking distance of the village school, shops, pub, and church, the property enjoys countryside views and benefits from a wonderful aspect of the garden from the modernist kitchen/diner extension.
Brighstone is a popular village in the south-west of the Island, just 7 miles from the main shopping and administrative centre of Newport and about 1.5 miles from the unspoilt coastline with its sandy beaches and footpaths. The village on a south-facing slope nestles beneath the Downs which are crossed by footpaths and bridle paths through spectacular countryside has a local church, primary school, surgery, Inn, several shops, post office and buses into both Newport and Freshwater.
