The Pitts, Bonchurch, Isle of Wight

This impressive, four-bedroom property in the quaint coastal village of Bonchurch is situated in an elevated position, in a very desirable road of individual homes, affording views of the English Channel, framed by ancient trees. This much improved home has been finished to a very high specification and this, as well as the superb location, can really be appreciated both inside and out. First impressions count and this gorgeous entrance hallway really packs a punch with a stunning, oak stairwell perfectly complimented by the flooring. One of the most striking features of this house is that it is filled with light throughout due to the many large, south facing windows. The main living areas have been appropriately assigned to the south side of the property, meaning that they enjoy maximum sunlight and are subsequently bathed in light, and of course making them a place to enjoy the views. From the dining room the French doors can be thrown open onto a decked terrace, creating a lovely spot outside for taking in the view. The sitting room boasts two large windows that span the majority of the south wall that creates the illusion of a seamless transition between the inside and out. The kitchen is fully equipped with all modern appliances, including gas hob and electric oven, plus there’s conveniently an adjoining utility room with space for a freezer and tumble dryer. There are two double bedrooms on this floor, one of which also benefiting from the lovely views, as well as a contemporary shower room. At the top of the beautiful stairs is a beautiful gallery landing that’s bathed in light from the large window as well as fabulous skylight. There are two double bedrooms on the first floor, both with windows facing the view and benefitting from built in storage in the eaves, as does the impressive landing. There’s a lovely family bathroom with bathtub, as well as an ensuite shower room to the principal bedroom that boasts a fantastic double, level entry shower. Outside, the south-facing garden is pretty low maintenance with some mature plants and a huge swath of decking sweeping across the entire length of the garden, as well as a charming firepit; the ideal place to cosy up at night for some star gazing. The remainder of the garden wraps around the sides of the property to the front access road, where you’ll find a driveway and integrated garage.

What the Owner says:

After 9 years on the Island we decided the Ventnor area, especially Bonchurch, was the place we wanted to be, we were looking for a perfect retreat in an area renowned for its beautiful, sheltered bay and impressive country walks. Our selected home certainly fulfilled our wishes! Due to our family’s needs, we did modify the existing layout, adding two further double bedrooms, one with an en-suite and both enjoying views over the English Channel. We also had space to create a family bathroom, ideal for our grandchildren when they visit for a break away from the rat race.
