Welcome to Dunbar House
Coming to the market for the first time in 35 years, dh presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial detached bungalow in a prime location, offering well balanced accommodation and significant scope for modernisation. Set within a generous plot in a peaceful and established setting, the property has been well maintained and cared for over the years. This unique home boasts high vaulted ceilings elevating the feeling of space and is designed to make the most of its South facing aspect, with extensive double and triple glazed sliding doors looking out onto the expansive gardens, plus a conservatory and sun-trap patio area. At the front of the house (facing North) there is an ample driveway and parking area for a number of vehicles, together with wooden sheds.
The accommodation comprises an entrance hall with cloaks cupboard, leading to the living room with open plan kitchen, which is the heart of the home. A door leads off to bedroom one, which has a dressing area and en-suite shower room and patio doors to the garden. The living area joins to a dining area with bifold doors to the conservatory and doors leading to two further double bedrooms and a bathroom. Outside, the generous gardens create a private and attractive setting, complemented by a useful outbuilding, incorporating both a workshop and potting shed.
Brook itself has a church and community Seely hall in the village, and is approximately five minutes drive from Brighstone village, which has a well stocked local shop, primary school, pub, church, community hall and gp surgery. Freshwater in the other direction has a supermarket, garden centre, library, shops and cafes and a leisure centre with swimming pool. Brook is served by the Southern Vectis bus route 12 which links to Freshwater, Totland and Newport as well as intermediate villages. Within 15 minutes drive is the pretty seaside town of Yarmouth, with its sailing club and marina, which also provides a regular ferry and train links to London and the mainland. Positioned within a National Landscape (formerly known as aonb), a network of scenic rural and coastal footpaths, including the famous Tennyson Trail are very nearby and the unspoilt, picturesque sandy beaches of Brook and Compton Bay are a short stroll away where you can spend long relaxing days on the coast.
