Description

Nestled in the charming coastal village of Gurnard, this detached two-bedroom bungalow presents an intriguing opportunity for renovation and investment. Situated quietly on Church Road, the property occupies a generous plot that offers ample scope for extension or reconfiguration, appealing to those looking to add value through thoughtful updates. While the interior is in need of modernization, it serves as a blank canvas for future owners. Currently heated by electric systems only, buyers can explore modern energy solutions and design features that meet current standards. The bungalow boasts a substantial front garden with a driveway and garage, alongside a spacious rear garden that provides possibilities for expansion—either horizontally or vertically—subject to planning approval. Location plays a key role in this property’s appeal. Gurnard is renowned for its coastal charm, offering stunning sea views and beautiful sunsets across the Solent. A short walk leads you to Gurnard Press, an artisan coffee shop beloved by locals, along with two inviting pubs: The Portland Inn and Woodvale, both close to the waterfront. Gurnard Beach and its surrounding green space are also nearby, perfect for leisurely morning swims or evening gatherings with friends. Moreover, proximity to Cowes enhances the property's appeal. Just a five-minute drive—or an enjoyable walk—will bring you to this vibrant sailing town filled with boutique shops, quality restaurants, and convenient high-speed Red Jet connections to Southampton. This accessibility is ideal for commuters or anyone seeking quick links to the mainland. In summary, this property combines solid foundations with an exceptional location and significant potential for customization—making it a compelling choice for downsizers, second-home seekers, or anyone eager to create their own unique retreat by the sea.
