Nestled in the heart of the picturesque countryside along the highly sought-after Alverstone Road, this exceptional detached home occupies one of the area's most impressive plots, offering a rare combination of privacy, tranquillity and outstanding outdoor space. Surrounded by open countryside and set within beautifully maintained grounds, the property enjoys a peaceful setting with mature tree-lined boundaries, extensive lawns and a wonderful south-westerly aspect that bathes the gardens in sunshine throughout the day.
The accommodation is bright, spacious and thoughtfully arranged, making it ideally suited to families, those seeking a countryside retreat, or buyers looking for a home that offers both comfort and versatility. A welcoming entrance hall leads through to a magnificent sitting room where a wood burner effect gas fire creates an elegant focal point. French doors open directly onto an elevated decked terrace, creating a seamless connection between the interior and the stunning gardens beyond. The heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and reception space, perfectly designed for modern living and entertaining. The contemporary fitted kitchen benefits from integrated appliances and attractive views across the grounds, while additional storage enhances practicality. A separate utility room and cloakroom further complement the living accommodation. The principal bedroom enjoys the luxury of a modern en-suite shower room, while two additional double bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom. Together, they create comfortable and well-balanced accommodation ideal for everyday living.
The true highlight of this remarkable property is the exceptional outdoor space. Expansive lawns, mature trees, attractive planting and established hedging create a private and picturesque environment, perfect for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying the natural surroundings. The substantial decked terrace offers a wonderful vantage point overlooking the gardens and provides an idyllic setting for outdoor dining. An impressive range of outbuildings further enhances the property's appeal. These include a fully insulated double garage with power and heating, an adjoining brick-built summer house suitable for year-round use, and a substantial workshop equipped with three-phase power, EV charging point and reinforced flooring, offering excellent potential for hobbies, storage or home business use, subject to the necessary permissions.
What the Owner says:
Living here has been a joy from enjoying the wide variety of shrubs, plants and trees in the garden to watching the garden wildlife; the finches, wrens, robins, doves and even the pheasant who walks up the garden path on early winter mornings.
We have two ‘field' areas that we have named ‘dog field' and ‘apple field' to differentiate them. The dog field is a fully enclosed area where our dogs love to run and play – the apple field is where we have two lovely apple trees. One is an eating variety similar to Braeburn in flavour, the other is a tasty cooker variety. Both trees produce an abundance of fruit each year. There is also a productive pear tree in the garden. Our grandchildren love to explore our garden, playing hide and seek (there are lots of fun places to hide!) and practicing their badminton when we put the nets up or using the basketball net on the mower store wall.
We have the convenience of a bus stop right outside and our local convenience store and post office at the top of the road is just a five-minute walk - very handy with friendly and helpful staff.
We often take a walk along the network of local footpaths with Sandown and Shanklin within easy reach. Borthwood Copse, a National Trust ancient oak woodland, is just a few minutes' walk up the road. There is also a lovely walk to the two local pubs along footpaths and quiet country lanes – something we do regularly on a warm summers evening.
