Mushrooms is a charming detached bungalow with an ‘L’ shape arrangement taking in a southerly aspect and glorious garden outlook from all rooms. Constructed in approximately 1960 with further extensions in the 1990’s, the property now offers plenty of accommodation with 3 well-proportioned double bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in addition to a range of well appointed reception space including a large open plan sitting room, separate dining room and kitchen. The plot extends to approximately 1/3 of an acre with a mature boundary of trees, hedgerow and a wonderful purple flowering wisteria covering the pergola. Further outbuildings provide plenty of storage and there is off road parking through five bar gates on the driveway. An external insulated chalet, with shower room, currently used as a double guest bedroom, provides a versatile ancillary space.
The bungalow has been maintained with great care but offers an excellent opportunity for modernisation or remodelling to suit modern family needs and within a large private plot could offer a superb and substantial family home.
The Village has a good range of small shops for everyday needs, including an excellent fishmonger with freshly caught fish, a farm shop, a butcher, coffee shop and several good restaurants. A more comprehensive range of shopping facilities is available in the county town of Newport (13 miles) and the nearby town of Ryde (7 miles). Located close to the eastern most point of The Island, Bembridge Harbour has extensive mooring facilities and two sailing clubs and there are wonderful coastal walks and sandy beaches accessible directly from the property. There are shallow beaches, perfect for swimming, kite-surfing and beach-combing.
