FANS of the great outdoors take note: Cherry Tree is a home perfectly placed to allow you to dabble in outdoor pursuits.

On your doorstep there is a garden to the front of the property with a variety of shrubs to the borders and a very well maintained garden to the back that looks out on to neighbouring farmland and is flanked by far-reaching views of Sandown on the horizon.

If walking and ambling light your fire, there are plenty of places to explore. You are minutes away from the former railway station that opened in the 1870’s and closed in 1956, and can wander along the former railway route. Likewise, the 55 acre woodland and nature reserve of Alverstone Mead is also nearby, as are the Alverstone Marshes.

This great home can be found on the Main Road, set back from the quiet road itself with off road parking for three cars to the front, as well as a double garage with electric roller doors, power, light, and fitted workbenches.

The area itself is quiet and very relaxed- it’s not very often that you drive to visit a property and have to patiently wait in the road as a duck decides if it wants to cross on foot, as wings were deemed surplus to requirements. Still, it endears you to the area immediately and makes you want to see this home even more.

The enclosed entrance porch opens into a very grand entrance hall with enough space to create a dining area if required. There is an understairs cupboard as well as a door leading to a dual aspect sitting room with a feature fireplace in a stone hearth, views to the front and doors leading to the grand rear patio with its superb countryside outlook. The patio measures approximately 30ft in length and offers access to a timber summer chalet as well as an upper section of the garden and steps down to the remainder of the large garden.

From the entrance hall, doors also lead to the office or separate dining room, an additional cloaks cupboard, a large cloakroom and the kitchen breakfast room. From the kitchen there is a stable door that leads outside to the very pleasing back garden.

The comprehensively fitted kitchen is a fine feature to this home and has woodblock effect laminate worktops with a range of cream faced shaker style units. Integrated appliances include a washing machine, dishwasher and two refrigerators. There is also a Lamona ceramic electric hob and a built-in eye level Lamona oven and grill. With a stunning outlook across the garden and out to the countryside, the outdoors feels like an extension of this room.

Heading upstairs, there is a built-in airing cupboard on the landing as well as a ceiling hatch to the insulated roof space. There are four sizeable bedrooms to this floor, as well as the bathroom with an ivory suite and a dressing room with a built-in double wardrobe and an en-suite shower room to the master bedroom.
