The Willows offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire a detached bungalow which has been extended and upgraded from its original footprint in 2015/6 and a newly laid driveway in late 2023 is a superb space for a few cars. Furthermore, there are new raised beds at the entrance to the property which make for an attractive entry to the house.
There are solar PV cells on the roof which are on a feed in tariff and deliver an income for the new owner for years to come. A newly constructed summer house has been positioned in the north-west corner of the plot delivering a fine aspect across the well landscaped garden. The spacious accommodation has been improved by the installation of a new bathroom shower room and kitchen with an open-plan Dining/Garden room overlooking the well-planted rear garden. It is situated within walking distance of the village school, shops, pub, and church, the property enjoys countryside views and benefits from a wonderful aspect of the garden from the modernist kitchen/diner extension.

The village on a south-facing slope nestles beneath the Downs which are crossed by footpaths and bridle paths through spectacular countryside has a local church, primary school, surgery, Inn, several shops, post office and buses into both Newport and Freshwater.
