Hideaway cottage is deceptively spacious offering three bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of which being an ensuite in addition to a further self-contained 1 bedroom annexe all on one level. The main cottage has undergone extension and refurbishment in recent years with a large open plan kitchen/dining room, separate sitting room and an extension to the rear overlooking the gardens. Tucked away in a very quiet position off a well connected lane to the village amenities and the local park meaning it is a sought-after location among many buyers including those looking for a holiday or permanent family home. The unique arrangement of the property means there is a chalet located along the front path which is set up for ancillary accommodation or letting and has two parking spaces in front.
Situated a short walk from the village centre Bembridge boasts a good range of shops including a butcher, florist, bakery, organic farm shop and fishmonger in addition to cafes and restaurants. Bembridge Harbour has extensive mooring facilities and two sailing clubs, whilst there are also numerous beaches. The Fastcat ferry providing high speed passenger links to Portsmouth, is located in Ryde approximately 7 miles away.
