Offering an exciting opportunity to acquire a substantial detached chalet bungalow with the potential to put your own stamp on, with two to three double bedrooms, two reception rooms, a sunny garden, plus a driveway and garage.

Situated within a quiet location on a sought-after no-through road, this generously proportioned detached chalet bungalow offers an exciting modernisation project. Having been a loving family home for the last 30 years, with a few upgrades made recently including the oil fired boiler, the oil tank, and the hot water tank, this 1980’s bungalow comprises a large entrance hall leading to two reception rooms, a study, a large kitchen – diner leading to the conservatory, plus a ground floor cloakroom. The stairwell from the entrance hall leads to the first-floor landing which provides access to two double bedrooms, the bathroom, a large airing cupboard, and access to eaves storage. The garden offers a lovely outlook over fields and offers potential to make your own, as well as benefiting from downland views to the side. The location is ideal for walking and for those that enjoy a quiet lifestyle, with village amenities just a short walk away.

Conveniently situated a short walk from the centre of the bustling rural village of Brighstone, in the heart of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this beautiful chalet bungalow is conveniently placed to access the local amenities which include a newsagents and a general village store with a post office, an excellent pub, and a medieval church dating back to the twelfth century, along with a GP surgery, recreational ground with tennis courts, and a primary school. The rugged south-west coastline of the Island is within walking distance with miles of unspoilt beaches to explore. An extensive network of footpaths and bridleways connect rolling chalk downland and a string of pretty villages and hamlets for a panoramic view of the whole area from the downs.
