Tree lovers will be keen to check out a spacious detached home in the desirable sylvan setting of Alverstone Garden Village, near Sandown.
This super home at 17 Woodside Avenue ticks all the boxes for a family looking for a comfortable, modern home in a rural yet convenient location.
For as well as a large lounge, it has a separate dining room, a sitting room leading out to a balcony and a big kitchen/breakfast room.
Busy families will also be grateful for the downstairs WC/cloakroom, while upstairs there are two bathrooms, one en-suite to the master bedroom.
A delight in summer, with its large windows and lovely garden outlook, the house is warm and cosy in winter thanks to gas central heating and double glazing.
An extra attraction is an integral double garage, (16ft 9ins by 16ft 5ins), built into the side of the house and giving lots of room to park the car under cover and for extra family storage space.
A spacious, tiled-floor entrance lobby leads to the main entrance hall, with doors to main rooms and an attractive wooden-balustraded staircase.
The lounge is a grand room (20ft 6ins by 13ft 4in) with plenty of light from its double-aspect windows and double-glazed sliding doors to the back garden. Another feature point is a brick fireplace.
An archway leads to the separate dining room, with its own sliding patio doors to the back garden — a delight in summer to dine with doors open and the garden literally on your doorstep.
A large kitchen/breakfast room offers space for informal meals, in addition to the work area with its good range of storage and work surface. There is a stainlee-steel sink and plumbing for a washing machine. A door leads to the back garden.
Upstairs, doors lead off a spacious galleried landing which is currently providing space for a study area, with desk.
The master bedroom is a whopping 19ft 6ins by 9ft 7ins and offers an en-suite shower room with a large, curved shower cubicle, WC and washbasin.
Both the other bedrooms are double size and there is a good range of built-in storage cupboards in bedroom two.
Outside, the grounds around the house are mainly lawn with well-established shrubs and trees to enjoy.
A concrete driveway leads from the road to the large integral garage, with power and light. A remote-controlled garage door opens electronically as you approach and there is no need to step outside into the elements again, as internal stairs lead up from the garage to the entrance hall.
