PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

A detached 3 bedroom bungalow in the sought-after village of Brighstone which has been recently remodelled, extended and upgraded. The spacious accommodation had been improved by the installation of a new bathroom and kitchen with an open-plan Dining/Garden room overlooking the well-planted rear garden. Situated within walking distance of the shops, pub, restaurant and church the property enjoys wide-ranging countryside and downland views. The neutral decor with limed wood laminate floors will allow a buyer to put their own mark on this light and airy property.



The property has undergone an extensive programme of refurbishment in 2015/6 and work should be completed in the spring of 2016 when the grounds will be landscaped and the lawns turfed. Brighstone lies halfway between the Downs and the sea. The Downs and Brighstone Forest provide spectacular waliking and riding and include the Tennyson Trail extending from Carisbrooke in the East to Freshwater and the Needles to the West. The unspoiled beaches of Compton Bay have spectacular cliffs and surf providing a dramatic backdrop for surfing or enjoying the seaside.
