Brading, Isle of Wight

This five-bedroom detached rural property sits in an elevated position with views across surrounding countryside and towards Sandown and Shanklin Bay. The house was built in the early 1990s and includes two en-suite bedrooms, several reception areas and a galleried landing. Its current presentation offers scope for modernisation while retaining features such as timber beams and double-glazed timber windows and doors. The listing states that a new, efficient boiler has been installed. The ground floor includes a sitting room with a marble fireplace, a sun room or dining room opening to the garden, a study and a large kitchen and breakfast area with an island, range cooker and brick fireplace. A utility and boot room, shower room and two further bedrooms are also on this level. Upstairs are three bedrooms, a family bathroom and a landing area that could be used for additional seating or study space. A former triple garage has been converted into a self-contained annexe with a kitchen and sitting room, mezzanine, shower room, bedroom and additional ground-floor reception or games space. The agent reports that it is currently used as holiday accommodation and generates approximately £25,000 per year; this figure and the operating arrangements should be checked with the agent. The grounds extend to approximately 11.5 acres according to the description, including gardens, two fenced paddocks of around eight acres, stables, a workshop and other outbuildings. The property is described as being within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, south-west of Brading, with beaches, shops and ferry connections accessible by road.
