PROPERTY: Rural views a big attraction

DUNROAMIN is a beautifully presented detached house, which benefits from stunning countryside views to the rear.

It is situated on Morton Road, on a main bus route, and is approximately a mile from Sandown town centre and the beach.

It is believed to date back to the 1930s and the owners have extensively modernised it since they moved there in 2001.

There is a good-sized driveway with off-road parking for two vehicles, while the entrance hall and much of the ground floor benefits from beautiful solid oak flooring.

The lounge has a feature box window overlooking the front of the house, plus an attractive fireplace with a fitted log burner.

It leads into another large room, which has potential as a home gym or office, but could equally be a ground floor bedroom with en-suite — ideal if you have family members with limited mobility.

In turn, this room leads into the spacious extension with a open plan kitchen/dining room/living room, which is light and airy and offers amazing views over the marshland, downland and sea to the rear.

This really is the heart of the home and the kitchen is well-equipped, with granite worktops, a double bowl sink unit, an integrated cooker and grill, a five-ring integrated gas hob and an island to provide extra working space, while the living room has sliding doors to the rear garden, with a Juliet balcony to allow visitors to admire the views and listen to the distant roar of the big cats at IW Zoo.

There is also a downstairs cloakroom on the ground floor, while upstairs, there are three bedrooms — two of which are double rooms.

All three bedrooms have far-reaching views and the first floor also has a good-sized family bathroom.

Outside, the rear garden has sunshine for most of the day and has a lawn area and established flower borders, plus a patio, a charming summerhouse and a brick-built wood and tool store.

The garden regularly attracts woodpeckers and the marshland beyond is filled with birds and other wildlife.
