For Sale4 Bedroom Detached House in Bonchurch, Isle of Wight, PO38£895,000

This impressive, four-bedroom property in the quaint coastal village of Bonchurch is situated in an elevated position, set back from the road, affording stunning views of both the sea and countryside. It makes a lovely first impression upon approach, with the attractive, stone walled front garden exhibiting a nautical theme, and with numerous palm trees, decorative shutters and the façade finished in white the combined effect is evocative of a Mediterranean villa. This is no coincidence; every detail throughout this home and garden has been meticulously designed by the current owners to create the impression of a continental villa, supported by the fact that this part of the island has its own microclimate and experiences warmer temperatures than the rest of the UK. Due to its unique design and with minimal room furnishings, all of the rooms are bright, spacious and open. Attractive and enduring hard flooring flows throughout, in various styles and materials, in keeping with the Mediterranean theme, which continues with the architraves adorned with decorative mouldings, making them the feature of every room. There are three good sized reception rooms, currently operating as a lounge, dining room and study respectively, all boasting exceptional views over either rolling hills, the English Channel or in some cases, both!
