Seller Insight

We bought the bungalow about 13 years ago because we really like the area and fell in love with the garden and also felt we could reconfigure the inside to provide better facilities including putting in the new kitchen. It has been a lovely home but we feel it is time for us to get something a little smaller.

Shanklin is a delightful seaside resort including the impressive Shanklin beach that was winner of the Beach of the Year Award in the Countryfile Magazine in 2019. The Old Village is charming with its thatched cottages, independent shops, restaurants and pubs while the Shanklin Theatre provides a variety of professional and amateur shows for evening entertainment. There is a real feeling of community and, if you enjoy the ‘great outdoors’ there is nothing like a bracing walk with the dog or a cycle ride to Culver Down or Ventnor. You will also find suitable infant nurseries in the vicinity as well as find two good primary schools.”*

Step inside Cedarwood

This delightful detached bungalow is only 80 metres from the cliff path on the outskirts of Shanklin. It sits in the midst of a large plot that includes an attractive front garden with a lawn, raised shrub borders and a driveway that provides off road parking and leads to the modern front door with stained glass insets.

The hall has a large storage cupboard and engineered oak flooring that flows through to the dual aspect lounge/dining room. This spacious room includes a fireplace with a flame effect gas fire and multi-pane French doors to the light and bright dual aspect sun room that offers charming views over the garden and beyond and makes an ideal additional seating and dining area. It has access to the very useful study which is a quiet area for anyone wanting to work undisturbed. However, it could always become a fourth bedroom if required.

There is a contemporary kitchen that was installed by the owners in the original garage and includes a breakfast bar and flat fronted white units housing a gas hob, electric oven, fridge freezer and dishwater with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer in the utility room. There is a modern shower room and three bedrooms including the main bedroom with built in wardrobes and an adjacent bathroom with under floor heating and two further double bedrooms, one of which also has built in cupboards.

Outside in the rear garden there is a substantial paved patio area for outdoor entertaining that wraps around half of the property and a vast lawn interspersed with beautifully trimmed shrubs, trees and flower borders as well as a large greenhouse so is ideal for gardening enthusiasts.
