For Sale5 Bedroom Detached House in Chale Green, Isle of Wight, PO38£695,000

The Halls is a very impressive detached property overlooking Chale Green. The original house was constructed in the early 1770s with the second half added in 1835. It was built of local Isle of Wight sandstone and includes a high chimney stack and multi-pane style double glazed casement windows, in keeping with the original style. Internally the property has been sensitively updated and well maintained but retains a number of period features that give it so much character. These features include high ceilings, exposed beams, dado rails and fireplaces as well as ceiling roses and original floorboards in the snug / breakfast room, lounge, main bedroom and dining room. The usual entrance is at the side of the property where there is a large paved frontage for off road parking, ev charging point and a pitched roof porch with a delightful wood door that leads through an inner door straight into the spacious and contemporary kitchen with tiled flooring. This has an inset range cooker, plenty of storage units and free-standing appliances as well as a large central island with additional storage facilities that is on casters so can easily be moved. There is open access to the cosy snug / breakfast room with its log burning stove and secondary staircase to the first floor. Beyond the snug is a later, single storey extension with a garden room that is currently in use as an office which has French doors to the terrace. There is an inner lobby and separate entrance as well as an adjacent shower room. The room makes an excellent office as it is tucked away from the rest of the property so anyone working from home can operate undisturbed by other activities in the house and any business visitors can access the office without going into the private part of the home. However, it can also be a small annex for an elderly family member or adult child or could also be used as a holiday let as it has been in the past. The main front door opens into a hall with the original staircase and doors to the attractive lounge that includes a log burning stove you can cosy up to on a cold winter’s evening while family and friends will be delighted to enjoy a meal in the elegant dining room. There is also a utility room with laundry facilities and a large boot room with a brick fireplace, exposed beams and an external stable door that could always become a study or playroom. Off the spacious landing with its feature archway and exposed beam is the charming family bathroom with a stand-alone slipper bath, shower and period style sanitaryware. There are also four good sized bedrooms including one with fitted cupboards and an en suite cloakroom and another with a door through to the fifth mezzanine bedroom that can also be accessed directly from the secondary staircase in the snug / breakfast room. A real feature of this delightful family home is the superb garden that has been designed and lovingly maintained by the owners over the years. It includes patio areas for outdoor entertaining as well as a charming combined summer house/shed, a further small summerhouse, workshop, impressive mature shrub beds, ponds, apple and cherry trees as well as lovely specimen trees in the ‘wild garden’ that is a great place for kids to play hide and seek.
