Lane End Road, Bembridge, PO35

Offered to the market for the first time in 90 years is this substantial family five bedroom detached house with spacious gardens and a pool complex.

St Hilary was built in 1933 for the parents of the current owners and sits in a lovely sized plot of approximately three quarters of an acre. The original accommodation has been tastefully extended over the years and now provides four very spacious reception rooms in addition to a kitchen/dining room, utility and boot room. On the first floor there is the option of having two principal suites, each with their own dressing room and bathroom, plus two further bedrooms. This could be arranged to provide five bedrooms if required.

Within the spacious grounds there is a sheltered pool complex comprising a pool house with a kitchen/dining/seating area, changing areas and showers. The well-established gardens include a separate kitchen garden with potting shed and greenhouse.

The property is set back from the road with plenty of off-road parking and a detached triple garage with the potential to provide separate accommodation subject to planning,

Situated within a level walk of the local shops, village centre and the beach this really is a super opportunity to acquire a beautiful family home.
