Offered to the market 'chain free' and set in a very peaceful spot is this detached bungalow in Bonchurch, Ventnor. The property is at the end of a private road and surrounded by woodland, a section of which is included in the plot. The bungalow has a bright interior full of natural light with sea glimpses. It is double glazed throughout but does offer the opportunity on the inside for a new owner to put on their own stamp. The internal layout comprises a large bay fronted lounge, a kitchen diner, 1 large double bedroom with door out into the garden, another double bedroom plus the bathroom and separate WC. Walking around the garden there are plenty of areas to stop, sit and enjoy the tranquillity. There is also a pathway with steps uncovered by the current owner that leads to even more secluded areas. This property is ideal for anyone looking for peace and quiet and an idyllic setting away from it all. That said, the town centre amenities and the beach are within a 10–12-minute walk from here with main bus routes passing nearby. Set at the end of a private road within the Bonchurch Conservation Area, on a peninsula of elevated land surrounded by thriving mature planting, trees and woodland, the location is extremely private and quiet. The property also benefits from a garage, which was added in 1993, and the garden extends to the south west into the woodland. 'Funchal' is surrounded by an abundance of local Victorian history and is conveniently located for magnificent coastal walks and numerous beaches, as well as the picturesque Bonchurch Village Pond. There are plenty of amenities within the nearby town of Ventnor, which has a fabulous range of boutique shops, fine eateries and supermarkets, and regular bus services that run through to both Newport and Ryde. Ventnor is renowned for its golden beach and bustling arts scene. Both Ventnor and Bonchurch benefit from the unique microclimate enjoyed on the south coast of the Isle of Wight, with St Boniface Down sheltering the area from cooling northerly winds, allowing flora and fauna to flourish.
Outside - The enchanting gardens wrap around the property, benefitting from the microclimate and the elevated position to create a wonderful, flourishing outside space which is extremely private and home to an abundance of wildlife. A pathway leads through the garden towards the house, alongside an ornamental pond surrounded by colourful planting and wild flowers. The gardens provide a wonderful habitat for woodpeckers and red-squirrels, which can be frequently spotted from the house. The garden is a mix of lawns, pathways and borders, full of character and to the rear of the bungalow a shed has power and lighting, plus there is a block-built outside WC and store. A lawn outside the kitchen provides a perfect spot to hang washing, and is surrounded by mature palms, and the garden continues into the woodland, which slopes back down towards Madeira Road and Trinity Road. A gate from the rear garden connects back to the single garage, which is adjoined to the neighbouring garage.
