St Jean D’Arce is found in the centre of Bembridge and dates back to the 1800’s and provides wonderful period features while recent renovations throughout are comprehensive and create a stylish and modern décor. The detached house benefits from a large sitting room and newly fitted kitchen/dining room in addition to a utility room and three double bedrooms with two bathroom, one of which being en-suite and the other ‘Jack and Jill’. The principal bedroom is a large double overlooking the front aspect while gardens to the rear are beautifully landscaped with a raised garden and sunny terrace and there is off road parking on a gravelled driveway to the front. Due to its central location, well-appointed refurbishment and characterful features the house represents an ideal family home or holiday let investment property and is offered chain free.
