FAIRLIGHT
Located just to the west of Wootton Creek within picturesque Woodside Bay, the property benefits from beach frontage so superb for swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking and dinghy sailing direct from the garden. This quiet setting also has excellent access to mainland ferry links including the nearby car ferry from Fishbourne and Portsmouth as well as East Cowes with Southampton. Wootton Bridge, approximately 1 ½ miles away, has a selection of restaurants, local shops, mooring facilities in addition to the Lakeside Spa and Restaurant while Osborne House is a short distance along the coast with its delightful bay. The adjacent coastline is a designated SPA (Special Protection Area), RAMSAR (Convention of Wetlands) and SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest) with the foreshore and surroundings playing host to a diverse range of wildlife.
Believed to have been constructed in around 2010 and designed for high levels of comfort and efficiency with accommodation over two storeys, superb sea views can be enjoyed from the open plan living space. In addition, the property features four double bedrooms (with sea views from the lower floor rooms) and three bathrooms, all with high quality fittings as well as a utility room and gym/ cinema. The upper ground floor accommodation has vaulted ceilings and large windows that flood the property with light whilst the adjoining terrace provides the perfect al fresco space from which to enjoy the magnificent views across to the Hampshire coast. Outside, the lawned garden provides access down to the fantastic beachside garden, with jetty and steps onto the beach while private parking for up to five cars creates a great overall package and a rare opportunity.
