Seller Insight

It was a delightful project to build this charming contemporary property and we have thoroughly enjoyed living here over the past five years but feel it is now time to look for another project and let new owners enjoy everything this home has to offer.

It is only a short walk to the charming village of Gurnard with its beach huts and kiddies’ playground. It is also possible to walk to Cowes with its independent shops, chandlers, bars and restaurants as well as enjoying views across the Solent and revelling in the stunning sunsets. If you want to have a drink and a meal out without having to take the car you can wander along to The Travellers Joy and there are good primary and secondary schools in the vicinity including Northwood primary and The Priory private school as well as a nearby post office and hair and beauty salon. It is also within easy reach of the ferry ports for access to the mainland with the Red Jet catamaran service only a couple of miles away.”*

Step inside

Badger Brook

Built by the owner about five years ago to a stunning contemporary design this very attractive detached chalet bungalow is a real charmer. Surrounded by woodland and only a short distance along a country lane to the sea at Gurnard but also with immediate access to the main road to Cowes and Newport, the property is in a very convenient and ideal location.

As you drive onto the wide block paved frontage where you can park four or five vehicles, you will be drawn to the appealing white painted exterior with its front balcony as well as the unusual full height and ‘wraparound’ ground floor windows.

The spacious reception hall includes hard wearing laminated floorboarding that flows throughout the ground floor and French doors to the impressive open plan kitchen / living room and when these doors are open it provides a large overall entertainment space. The seating area has four bi-fold doors to the rear decked terrace while there are also French doors from the kitchen area to the terrace and, when these are all open, it is like bringing the outdoors inside. The contemporary kitchen includes a large central island/breakfast bar with additional storage and where you can easily seat at least four people while modern shaker style units house a Neff induction hob and concealed telescopic extractor, a double oven, dishwasher and a free-standing American style fridge freezer.

There is a family bathroom with a bath and separate shower servicing two double bedrooms including one with three floor to ceiling windows and the other with a corner window. This floor also has a utility room with laundry facilities and an airing cupboard as well as a boot cupboard under the stairs.

On the first floor you will find a second family bathroom with a bath and separate shower as well as three double bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and Velux windows including one with a front of house balcony, another that has a large walk-in cupboard and the superb main bedroom. This awe-inspiring room has four bi-fold doors to a magnificent under cover balcony with a glass balustrade that spans the width of the property and where you can enjoy fabulous views across the surrounding countryside while sipping your morning coffee. There are also plenty of built in wardrobes and an en suite double shower room.

Another superb feature of this contemporary property is the wonderful covered decked terrace where you can enjoy sitting outside as well as ‘al fresco’ dining during the day and into the evening. This leads down steps to a large lawn bordered by high hedges for privacy and security.
