Dating back to approximately 1868, 2 Fernbank is a 3 bedroom semi-detached house occupying a unique position just off the popular St Helens Green with a beautifully green outlook and far reaching views to Bembridge Harbour and the Eastern Solent. The house is particularly attractive with deep bay window at the front and pebble render elevations with colourful landscaped gardens around. There is off road parking, workshop space and scope and space for extending the accommodation (subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions)
Ideally situated just off the village centre and only a short walk down to the harbour quay and the causeway leading to the sand dunes of the Duver and family friendly beach. The small but vibrant village of St Helens has a village shop, two restaurants and a pub, together with an antiquarian bookshop and excellent access to nearby Bembridge Harbour, with extensive mooring facilities and sailing clubs at Bembridge and Brading Haven. There is easy access to a range of more extensive facilities and mainland transport links at Ryde (approximately 3 miles away) as well as several good beaches, including Bembridge and around Priory Bay.
