Alverstone Garden Village

Tucked away at the end of a leafy cul-de-sac in the semi-rural setting of Alverstone Garden Village, this beautifully refurbished four-bedroom detached bungalow enjoys a wonderfully private position, surrounded by mature trees and with woodland walks literally on the doorstep. The home also benefits from a gated private garden and garage, offering both practicality and seclusion. Although the setting feels peaceful and "away from it all", the sandy beaches and everyday amenities of Sandown and Shanklin are only a few minutes' drive away.

Behind its understated exterior, the property has been thoughtfully remodelled to create a light, free-flowing home with a contemporary yet faintly Art Deco vibe - think clean lines, a calm colour palette and quality finish throughout.

At the heart of the bungalow is a superb open-plan kitchen / living / dining space, running the full depth of the house. A sleek fitted kitchen with glossy cabinetry, island unit, integrated appliances and solid wood worktops opens into generous living and dining areas, all oriented towards the garden with doors out to the rear veranda - perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying the peaceful outlook over the trees.

There are four bedrooms in total, offering excellent flexibility. The principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and garden views. Two further double bedrooms each have built-in storage, with a contemporary ensuite shower room off the third. A fourth bedroom would also be ideal as a home office and could readily revert to a comfortable bedroom, depending on your needs. You will find a practical utility room here and a stylish family bathroom with freestanding bath completes the accommodation.

Outside, this home really comes into its own. A raised veranda spans the rear of the property, providing an ideal spot for morning coffee while you look out across the garden and woodland beyond. Steps lead down to a well-established garden with lawns, mature planting and seating areas, together with a pretty pergola and greenhouse. A gate at the bottom of the garden gives direct access to woodland paths which link into the wider Alverstone Mead and Youngwoods Copse nature reserves, a haven for walkers, dog owners and wildlife enthusiasts, with red squirrels and a rich variety of birdlife regularly seen nearby.)

A particular bonus is the large, insulated garden studio / summer house, fitted with power and light and featuring French doors to the garden.

To the front, a generous resin driveway offers ample parking for several vehicles and leads to an oversized garage with power, light and plumbing for laundry appliances, keeping the main living space clutter-free.
