Mulberry House is a beautifully presented and light-filled detached home in a highly sought-after location. Situated on picturesque and historic Quay Lane, this attractive house is just a short walk from stunning downland trails and the RSPB nature reserve. It occupies a peaceful, elevated position with outstanding views across Culver and Brading Downs.
The town of Brading is well appointed and benefits from a school, shops, public houses and train station which connects to Ryde Pier Head. There are many local walks across the Downs or the protected RSPB marsh lands including the ‘Walk-the-Wight’ route passing close to the house where walkers ascend onto Brading Downs on their 26mile annual charity walk in May from Bembridge to The Needles. The seaside village of Bembridge with its sandy beaches is a short drive away. Bembridge boasts incredible views across The Solent and English Channel and is surrounded by miles of down land perfect for countryside walks. Bembridge Harbour has extensive mooring facilities and two sailing clubs and creates a bustling atmosphere with fishing boats and pleasure craft. The town of Ryde is also a short drive with its numerous amenities, schools and high speed (22mins) links to the mainland.
A substantial three-bedroom detached home, Mulberry House offers generously proportioned accommodation throughout. The ground floor features a spacious sitting room with bay windows and French doors opening onto the garden and a superb open-plan kitchen/dining room. Each of the three well-appointed double bedrooms benefits from an en suite and enjoys wonderful views over the surrounding countryside.
The tasteful décor has been refreshed throughout, with elegant feature wallpapers and colour palette across the bedrooms. The modern en suite bathrooms are beautifully finished, with the principal suite offering a luxurious bath and showeroom complete with dressing area, freestanding bath, and walk-in shower.
The reception areas flow seamlessly, providing flexible and sociable family living. The dual-aspect sitting room runs from front to back, filled with natural light, and includes a log-burning stove with a timber surround and mantle. The open-plan kitchen/dining room is ideal for entertaining, with space for a family dining table, a breakfast bar, and excellent storage and worktop space.
Outside, the house is set well back from the road behind a pair of hardwood gates where a resin-bound driveway leads to ample parking, a carport, and a detached double garage. The beautifully landscaped rear garden features mature planting, colourful borders, and a raised terrace perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining. A charming wildflower meadow at the rear is home to the property’s namesake — a mature mulberry tree, believed to be one of the oldest on the island.
