Fishbourne Lane, Fishbourne, Isle of Wight

Set at the end of a long shared private driveway, this substantial and versatile family home enjoys a peaceful, secluded setting, screened from the road by a tree-lined approach and mature trees surrounding the gardens. Despite its tranquil position, the property is conveniently located between Newport and Ryde, with excellent access to everyday amenities, schools and the car ferry to Portsmouth.

The property occupies generous grounds, with extensive gardens to the front, side and rear, together with ample parking and three single garages. The outdoor space provides an excellent setting for family life, entertaining and enjoying the surrounding natural environment.

A particularly exciting feature is the existing planning permission for a two-bedroom detached lodge within the grounds. The lodge is currently incomplete, offering a superb opportunity for a new owner to finish the project to their own specification, creating valuable additional accommodation for extended family, guests or potential income, subject to the necessary consents. Planning permission was also granted for a two-storey extension to the rear of the impressive kitchen/dining room.

Internally, the main house offers five bedrooms arranged over two floors, providing an adaptable layout ideal for growing, extended or multi-generational families. The ground floor includes three bedrooms served by a modern family bathroom, along with a comfortable sitting room and separate dining room. The impressive kitchen/dining space forms the heart of the home, featuring attractive fitted units, a large central island and triple aspect windows and doors that fill the room with natural light while creating a wonderful connection with the gardens.

Upstairs are two further double bedrooms, each benefiting from fitted storage and a modern en-suite shower room. Both bedrooms enjoy a delightful outlook through the surrounding copse, offering a peaceful and picturesque setting.

Combining generous accommodation, extensive grounds, excellent privacy, ample parking and significant development potential, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a highly versatile home in a convenient and attractive location.
