A Detached Home With An Extensive Garden

Located in peaceful Gurnard, with views towards the sea and countryside, in a great family location close to Gurnard Primary and Northwood Primary schools, this spacious home has three bedrooms, two reception rooms, a shower room, kitchen and utility with scope to extend and enhance.
There is off road parking for several vehicles and a wonderful rear garden that includes several garden stores and has enough room for a sizeable garden room/office or annexe (STPP).
Architect drawings have been drawn up which detail a wrap around extension to the back of the house and a small bungalow in the garden, ideal for an older/younger family member giving independent living accommodation.

Interior

This well maintained, versatile home has many period features including decorative corbels in the hallway, high ceilings, large windows and an original fireplace. There are beautiful sea views from the front of the property and a countryside panorama from the rear.

Ground Floor:
The entrance door, with a stained glass galleon boat design, opens into a porch with original tiled flooring. The hallway stretches ahead with the staircase rising to the upper floor (stairlift by negotiation), a useful understairs cupboard, and access to the kitchen, second reception and sitting room. This generous sized room has a larger than average bay window which allows light to flood in and an original fireplace that is a lovely feature with its pretty matching tiles on the surround and hearth.
A second reception room could be used as a dining room, snug or reconfigured to a shower room and utility space. The sunny kitchen has an array of white wall and base units with integrated appliances including a microwave, four ring gas hob, tall fridge/freezer, dishwasher, two ovens and a light speckled worksurface below the grey metro tiles.
This room leads through to a utility area, with space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and flows through to a further storage/boot room that contains a wc and basin. From the utility there is a rear door to the garden that has a storm porch and is adjacent to a further storeroom.

First Floor:
Leading off this long airy hallway is access to the loft area, three bedrooms, a walk in shower cubicle and a separate cloakroom with a corner vanity unit basin and wc.
At the rear is a double bedroom with built in cupboards and views out to the countryside and sea, another good sized double bedroom looks over the garden and then a principal bedroom. This generously sized room has an array of wardrobes including some with mirrored doors and arched windows that give access to beautiful sea views.

Exterior

The low maintenance front garden has steps up to the main entrance door, surrounded by ornate black iron rails. There is also a level path leading down one side of the property as well as a long hardstand area on the opposite side, which can park several vehicles and has double wooden gates at the far end that open into the rear garden.

The expansive rear garden is both wide and long, with two large garden stores, a patio area, several log stores, mature trees and shrubs and a spacious grassed area. In a secluded area of the garden is currently a wood fired hot tub (not included in the sale).
This wonderfully quiet and relaxing outdoor space has endless possibilities to overhall and landscape with further seating areas and formal planting or (STPP) install a garden room/office or annexe.
