THIS is one of those homes where the more you see, the more you like. Around every corner, it seems, there is something to make you think: “I wasn’t expecting that”.

At first glance this Playstreet Lane, Ryde, property is of a conservative size, but once inside there are two great floors. Across the two spaces there are four double bedrooms — two on the ground and two on the first floor.

From the master bedroom and the en-suite there are lovely views across the garden and out to sea.

This chalet bungalow has been remodelled and upgraded in recent years. At the back is a contemporary, vaulted and glazed extension that forms a stylish open-plan living area with underfloor heating and includes a kitchen, dining and seating areas.

In the kitchen-breakfast portion, there are wall and base units, a breakfast bar, integrated slimline dishwasher and fridge, as well as space for a fridge freezer. A warming feature — both literally and metaphorically — of the lounge area is the sleek Firebelly wood-burning stove.

Above the dining and sitting area are two Velux windows that brighten and seem to expand this already sizeable space. There are double doors that lead into the garden and a second door to the side too. An additional door into the garden on the far side of the kitchen opens on to a private paved patio area.

At the front door is a practical porch that opens into the entrance hall. Proceed straight across and you will emerge into the grand open-plan part of the house. Turn left and there is a sitting room with an electric wood-effect heater. There is a bedroom at the front and one at the back as well as a bathroom.

Upstairs you will find two bedrooms and a large storage room The second bedroom has an en-suite WC as well as a fitted wardrobe and vaulted ceiling with exposed beams.

The master bedroom also features the exposed beams and vaulted ceiling as well as windows to the front, side and a Juliet balcony that takes in the view. There are fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom too.

There is space for four vehicles on the driveway A side gate leads to the pretty back garden with lawns, mature trees and shrubs.
