Having lived in Gurnard for most of my life, even I did not know this home existed! It is set back off Solent View Road in a garden plot of 0.5 acres and has been lived in and much loved by the current owners for nearly 40 years. The property comprises two parts as it was extended in the mid 90's to create an annexe bungalow which is linked to the original. Overall, the compact accommodation is in need of general modernisation, but offers a total of four bedrooms (two en-suite); two sitting areas and a conservatory; kitchen/dining room; separate study and family bathroom. It is surrounded by its mature gardens which have a parkland feel - with a huge variety of shrubs; trees and fruit trees. There are a myriad of outbuildings including a large workshop; greenhouse; two caravans and a chalet - some of which are in need of repair. A raised, decked verandah sits at the front of the original part of the property, offering a magnificent elevated countryside vista with a Solent backdrop.
The access is via a narrow driveway off Solent View Road which widens at the end to provide parking. There is also a pedestrain only access from the garden to Lower Church Road. For those seeking a tucked away but central village position, and those who love the outdoor life - then this is a hidden gem. Freehold. Council Tax Band - B. EPC - D62
