Nestled within a serene, tranquil setting at the end of a quiet private lane, Cedar Cottage boasts approximately one acre of well-established gardens providing a secluded outdoor retreat and an absolute haven for wildlife. The current owners of five years have completely transformed the property with a high standard of improvements which can be admired throughout; from its beautifully finished kitchen and a luxurious family bathroom, high-quality flooring and tastefully redecorated walls, smart double glazed windows and internal doors, as well as a highly-efficient oil-fired boiler and new external oil tank, all of which has been completed over the past five years. The substantial outside space offers beautiful gardens with its own natural stream and wooded areas that create a thriving natural environment. There is a generous driveway which provides plenty of parking and features a detached double-glazed garage which offers enormous potential to transform into a self-contained annexe.
Despite enjoying a secluded rural setting, the village of Brighstone with a local school, convenience store and the popular Three Bishops pub are just a short drive away from the property. Within easy walking distance, the highly regarded Sun Inn pub at Hulverstone is also a popular favourite amongst residents and visitors alike, serving delicious pub grub with spectacular coastal views from the beer garden. In the opposite direction, the town of Freshwater with a range of shops, amenities, schools and the West Wight Sports Centre with a swimming pool is only a ten-minute drive from the property. Positioned within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a network of scenic rural and coastal footpaths, including the famous Tennyson Trail are on the doorstep and the unspoilt, picturesque sandy beaches of Brook and Compton Bay are a short stroll away where you can spend long relaxing days at the seaside.
Brook is served by the Southern Vectis bus route 12 which links to Freshwater, Totland and Newport as well as intermediate villages. Trips to the mainland on the Wightlink car ferry service are within easy reach from the pretty seaside town of Yarmouth which is located just a sixteen-minute drive from Cedar Cottage.
The well-arranged accommodation is spacious throughout and provides even further potential to extend if required (subject to necessary planning consent). The accommodation comprises an entrance hallway which leads to a utility/cloakroom, a beautiful lounge-diner and a generous kitchen-breakfast room that opens to a garden room. Upstairs there is a substantial master bedroom, a family bathroom and two further double bedrooms.
Welcome To Cedar Cottage
Located at the end of a private lane just off of Brook Village Road, a handsome cedar tree and a pair of green painted five bar timber gates create a delightful first impression as you approach the property. The gates open to a substantial concrete driveway which provides parking space for multiple vehicles and includes a well-built detached garage and a carport.
