Unlike many of the other homes recently built at nearby Island Harbour, near Newport on the Isle of Wight, this property benefits from unrestricted occupancy.
It is perfectly positioned as a full-time home with convenient facilities nearby, including popular waterside restaurant, The Breeze, the marina’s water taxi, chandlery, 50-ton hoist and slip crane, as well as boat-builders and the repair shop.
The ground floor has a large triple-aspect sitting/dining room overlooking the moorings and river.
There is a large open fireplace, and one corner of the room has been fitted with hardwood flooring to define the dining area.
Sliding doors open to a brick-based conservatory with doors leading out to the garden, which is a lovely place to sit and enjoy the views.
The dual-aspect kitchen has views of the river and is fitted with an array of oak wall and base units with worktops over. There’s a halogen hob with extractor over, an eye-level electric double oven and space and plumbing for other appliances.
The integral garage has an up-and-over door, a window to side and a door leading out to rear garden.
There is a handy ground floor double bedroom with French doors leading out to the patio and garden views and there is also a ground floor cloakroom.
Upstairs, the dual-aspect master bedroom is a double room with full length doors leading on to the private balcony with great views of the river.
There is an en-suite bathroom fitted with a spa bath, quadrant shower cubicle, WC and twin wash-basins.
Bedroom two is a double room with views over the river and an en-suite shower room with a quadrant shower cubicle, WC and wash-basin.
Outside, to the front the lawn rolls down to the river, with established oak trees forming a natural border to both allow views and provide some privacy.
Gated side access leads to the rear garden, which has a large patio area with steps leading up to a lawn with mature shrubs and small trees. There are two timber sheds and a greenhouse too.
The mooring is situated on the pontoon closest to the shore and allows space for a boat of up to 9.14 meters to berth.
There is a charge of around £700 per annum towards the upkeep of the pontoon.
Island Harbour is just a few minutes' drive from the Isle of Wight's county town of Newport, and it's just a short drive to East Cowes for mainland Red Funnel car ferry links.
East Cowes was also favoured by Queen Victoria, who made her long-term home there - Osborne House, which is still a popular tourist attaction today.
