Sherwood is an immaculate three bedroom detached home with stylish interiors, a ground-floor ensuite bedroom and a superb first-floor principal suite.
The spectacular landscaped garden features multiple seating areas, an outdoor kitchen, pond and bespoke games room with bar. With a garage, generous parking and Colwell Bay just minutes away, this is West Wight living at its best.

The house occupies a generous plot and is set well back from Colwell Road behind a substantial driveway and attractive front garden. A drive-on, drive-off arrangement provides parking for several vehicles, complemented by an attached garage and gated access to both sides of the property.
A composite entrance door opens into a useful entrance porch, where a partially glazed internal door leads into the welcoming entrance hall. Herringbone-style flooring, oak thresholds and glazed oak doors establish the quality of finish found throughout the house.
The principal reception room is a superb triple-aspect living and dining space, flooded with natural light from windows to the front, side and rear. Sliding patio doors open directly onto the patio and garden, making this an ideal room for both everyday living and entertaining.
Glazed Georgian-style double doors open into a further flexible reception room, currently arranged as a home office. With its generous proportions and triple-aspect outlook, this could equally be used as a fourth bedroom, snug, playroom or formal dining room.
The kitchen and utility room is bright, practical and beautifully presented. It is fitted with an extensive range of cream high-gloss cabinetry and contrasting work surfaces, together with an integrated ceramic hob, fan-assisted electric oven and stainless-steel extractor. There is space and plumbing for a dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as space for a tall fridge-freezer. Windows overlook the rear garden and a partially glazed door provides direct outside access.
A separate cloakroom completes this part of the ground-floor accommodation.
Also on the ground floor is an excellent double bedroom with ample room for wardrobes and additional furniture. A cleverly concealed mirrored door opens into a luxurious ensuite bathroom, creating an impressive and private guest or principal bedroom suite. The bathroom has a freestanding slipper-style bath, a separate glazed shower enclosure, a contemporary vanity unit and a roof light providing excellent natural illumination.
The staircase rises through a particularly attractive stairwell, with recessed windows allowing natural light to flow through the centre of the house.
The first floor is currently arranged as a substantial principal suite. The bedroom is a generous king-size room with windows to the front and rear, built-in eaves storage and far-reaching views across the landscaped garden.
Positioned between the bedroom and dressing room is a beautifully appointed shower room with a wide glazed enclosure, overhead rainfall shower and separate handheld attachment. A contemporary vanity unit provides useful storage, while recessed shelving offers additional space for toiletries and decorative pieces.
The adjoining dressing room was originally designed as a further bedroom and could readily be returned to that use. It is currently fitted with hanging rails, shelving and useful under-eaves storage, and enjoys another wonderful outlook across the garden.

Outside - To the front of the property is an extensive driveway providing off-road parking for several vehicles, currently arranged to allow cars to drive in and out without reversing.
The front garden incorporates areas of lawn, planted borders, small trees and established shrubs. A retaining boundary wall provides separation from the pavement and road, while the house itself is set comfortably back within the plot.
To the rear of the property is a beautifully landscaped garden, which offers excellent privacy against a tree-lined backdrop. Two patio and seating areas provide plenty of space for outdoor dining and relaxation, complemented by an outdoor kitchen and an attractive ornamental pond and water feature. A central paved and gravel pathway leads through a well-stocked planted garden and lawn, and to a substantial games room and bar, along with two timber sheds. All three garden buildings benefit from an electricity supply.

Location - Sherwood occupies an appealing position on Colwell Road in the highly desirable West Wight, within minutes of the shore at Colwell Bay.
Colwell Bay is a sheltered and predominantly sandy beach on the quieter western side of the Island, with a level seafront walkway and views across the Solent. The renowned beachfront restaurant The Hut sits directly on the bay and is known for its waterside dining and relaxed coastal atmosphere.
Freshwater village provides a good selection of everyday shops, cafés and amenities, while nearby Totland, Freshwater Bay, Alum Bay, Tennyson Down and The Needles offer some of the Island's finest scenery, beaches and coastal walks.
The historic harbour town of Yarmouth is also within easy reach and provides restaurants, independent shops and mainland connections via the car ferry to Lymington. Wightlink describes this as its shortest and quickest car-ferry route to the mainland.
The West Wight is more than simply a location, it offers a genuine lifestyle, with sailing, swimming, coastal walking, outstanding scenery and relaxed waterside dining all close at hand.
