For Sale3 Bedroom Detached House in Binstead, Isle of Wight, PO33£500,000

Originally built circa 1880 as a gardener’s cottage as part of the Stone Pitts estate, this charming property has undergone numerous extensions and improvements over recent years by the current owners, resulting in this stunning, three-bedroom home. Ideally situated, tucked away down a quiet lane, whilst at the same time being within a mile of the historic coastal town of Ryde with high-speed ferry links to Portsmouth, this really is the best of both worlds. This immaculately presented property feels light and spacious throughout, with attractive and hard-wearing engineered oak laminate flooring flowing seamlessly, sash windows to the front and a pretty, coal effect gas stove, to name just a few of its lovely features. The newly appointed kitchen / breakfast room is an impressive room, with all integrated appliances and space for a dining area, plus there’s a separate utility room immediately adjacent. Leading directly off the kitchen and therefore offering flexibility of use is the delightful sunroom that serves as the perfect viewing spot for admiring stunning sunsets and the well stocked gardens. Attractive double doors lead from here into the cosy sitting room, again benefitting from west-facing, sash windows and a pretty fireplace. On the first floor is the impressive principal bedroom with a wall of integrated wardrobes and a superb, brand new, ensuite shower room, that boasts a double, level access shower and a fabulous, vaulted ceiling, with state-of-the-art skylights that have sensors to detect both sun and rain, activating the integrated blinds and auto-close features. Bedrooms two and three are both beautifully finished doubles, with the former benefiting from integrated wardrobes and large sash windows framing the evening sun setting behind the treetops. The family bathroom is another recent addition that’s been finished to a high specification. Access is via a bridleway so whilst there is vehicular access to residents, there is no other traffic using it – absolutely ideal. There’s a large hardstanding with parking for several vehicles plus a spacious garage that’s currently being used as a workshop. The remaining garden spans the west side of the property and is an absolute delight, festooned with exotic botanicals that the island’s milder climate helps to sustain, as well as native trees such as the twisted hazelnut that attracts the infamous Isle of Wight red squirrels. There’s a potting shed and greenhouse, plus a timber garden shed, and of course the perfect spot to enjoy it all - a fabulous decking area directly outside the sunroom.
