5 bed detached house for sale

Uplands Road, Totland Bay, Isle Of Wight PO39

This striking contemporary home offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire a distinctive, architect-designed residence set within generous and private grounds in a peaceful coastal setting. Designed with both innovation and sensitivity to its surroundings, the property combines bold modern architecture with practical, flexible living spaces, creating a home that is as functional as it is visually impressive. The exterior design makes an immediate statement, with a dramatic blend of extensive glazing and natural timber cladding that allows the building to sit comfortably within its landscape while maximising natural light throughout. Inside, the layout has been carefully considered to support modern lifestyles, featuring a broken-plan arrangement and movable walls that allow spaces to be adapted effortlessly for everyday living, entertaining, home working, or creative use. The ground floor provides a series of light-filled, versatile rooms that flow seamlessly between interior and exterior spaces. Sheltered terraces extend the living areas outdoors, encouraging year-round enjoyment of the gardens. A central living area with a feature fireplace offers warmth and character, while the kitchen is both stylish and highly functional, thoughtfully positioned to remain connected to the main living spaces. Additional rooms on this level provide excellent flexibility, lending themselves to use as guest accommodation, a studio, or a quiet retreat. The first floor continues the sense of space and light, offering four generously proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en suite facilities, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom. A spacious landing creates a natural hub for study or relaxation and offers potential for future enhancement, subject to the necessary approvals. Energy efficiency and comfort have been carefully prioritised, with underfloor heating powered by an air source heat pump, alongside high levels of insulation and double glazing. Planning permission is already in place for an extension that would further enhance the accommodation and introduce an attractive courtyard feature, should a purchaser wish to expand the home. Outside, the gardens surround the property and provide excellent privacy and seclusion, with mature boundaries, established planting, and multiple terraces offering ideal spaces for entertaining or quiet enjoyment.

What the Owner says:
We have enjoyed living at this property immensely and would love to transport it elsewhere; if we could. The floor-to-ceiling windows at the rear and side give a wonderful transparency with various views through the house to the garden and beyond. Even on a dull winter day, the house is filled with light and the underfloor heating provides a cosiness during the coldest days.

The Solent is a short walk away at Totland Bay and we enjoy sea swimming most of the year. The walks are terrific with Headon Warren and Tennison Down closeby, and The Highdown Inn for a post walk beverage and meal.

The Hut in summertime is very special and the garden of the George Hotel in Yarmouth is a favourite for long lunches.

Every visitor to this property loves the house and wants to stay longer. A real architectural gem!
