Bramble Cottage
This attractive, semi-detached stone cottage has been extended over time to provide surprisingly extensive accommodation, retaining original features but with modern comforts such as double glazing and central heating. There is a particularly impressive and really spacious dual aspect sitting room with French doors to the adjacent terrace, benefitting from the wonderful views over the beautiful Bowcombe Valley. Original features such as fireplaces and doors remain. With two double bedrooms and a large bathroom on the first floor, the considerably larger ground floor offers versatile accommodation currently providing a further two bedrooms and a shower room. In addition to ample parking to the side and front of the cottage, there is a really attractive secluded rear garden including lawns, various borders, trees and shrubs as well as two terraces from which to enjoy the views.
Situated approximately a mile from nearby Carisbrooke with its Castle, pubs and convenience store, Bramble Cottage is situated in the heart of the picturesque Bowcombe Valley, designated an AONB and benefitting from direct access to wonderful country and downland walks and cycle paths. The central location on the island also means it is in within easy reach of all parts of the island including its varied coastline and beaches.
Bramble Cottage has been used as a successful holiday let in recent years and could be purchased largely furnished if required, subject to negotiation.
