Popham Road, Shanklin, Isle Of Wight, PO37

This is a deceptively spacious, modern home, arranged over three floors, with private gardens to the front and rear, and ample parking for up to three cars. The sunroom at the front is a real bonus and allows light to flood the adjoining sitting room through the attractive bay windows and French doors. This is a good-sized sitting room, carpeted throughout and leads to the spacious entrance hall. To the rear of the property ground floor is an impressive, open-plan kitchen-diner, with engineered wood flooring and fantastic bi-fold doors, giving access to the rear garden and creating another light and airy space. The kitchen has everything you would expect from a contemporary home, including integrated dishwasher, fridge/freezer and washing machine. The five-ring gas-burning stove and larger than average oven in the island combines design and practicability. In the rear garden is a handy shed and garden room. Both are connected to mains power, giving the former potential to be a utility room and the latter would easily lend itself to an outside office. The garden is mostly laid to lawn, edged by mature shrubs and plants, and backs onto the historical landmark, Shanklin Chine.

To the first floor are three well-proportioned double bedrooms and a large, family bathroom, which includes a shower and separate bath. On the second floor are two further double bedrooms and a large, Jack and Jill bathroom, again, with separate shower and bathtub. The master bedroom boasts a dressing room and walk-in wardrobe, as well as direct access to the Jack and Jill bathroom. This property also benefits from solar panels and attractive sash windows throughout.

What the Owner says:

We bought this house twelve years ago as a new build and we have enjoyed all the benefits of living in this modern home. It is always warm in the winter and cool in the summer, thanks to the great insulation and being built to a high specification. The solar panels are an excellent addition and really keep our bills down, as well as helping us do our bit for the environment. The accommodation is so versatile, and we have enjoyed being able to have the grandchildren visit over the years, using the second floor as guest quarters. We enjoy nothing more than sitting in our patio area and watching the red squirrels in the Beech trees that run immediately behind the garden. The house itself is just a stone's throw from the beautiful Rylstone Gardens and the coastal path, which runs all the way to Ventnor. At the end of the road is the number 3 bus stop, which takes you to Ventnor, Newport and Ryde, and everywhere in between. There is also a half-hourly service to Shanklin train station, which will take you to Ryde's high-speed passenger ferry service to Portsmouth. It is also right in the heart of the picturesque Old Village, with its pretty, thatched roofed cottages, traditional pubs and artisan shops and restaurants.

We have lived on the island for 25 years and have made some wonderful memories here. However, the time has come for us to move back to the mainland to be near our children and grandchildren. We will miss the island greatly, but plan to visit often.
