Beautifully presented throughout, this period cottage dates back to 1864 and still retains all of the character and charm one would expect from a period home. The cottage has been very well cared for over the years, and offers all the needs of modern day living alongside original period features.
On the ground floor a welcoming porch leads through to an open plan kitchen and dining room, which has a fabulous stone fireplace fitted with a multi fuel stove. This in turn leads through to a rear aspect sitting room which is naturally bright and has French doors leading into the rear garden and exposed stone walls. Further ground floor accommodation includes a modern fitted bathroom, and a utility room which is accessed from the garden. On the first floor there are 2 double bedrooms which have their own separate staircases leading up from the dining room.
Externally, the cottage has a deep garden to the front which is lawned and incorporates mature flower beds and vegetable plots, whilst to the rear there is a paved courtyard garden which is ideal for outside dining. Of further benefit is a detached garage with parking to the front, and a large timber workshop.
The cottage is ideally positioned within walking distance of the shops and amenities of Bembridge, as well as the harbour, beaches and coastline which surrounds the village.
