SPACE in spades both in its attractive interior and outside in its lovely forest glade-like setting where red squirrels frolic, is the appealing scenario at a Shanklin home.
Although 2 Hollybrooke Close stands in extensive gardens with several lofty oak trees and enjoys plenty of peace and quiet, it is a few minutes’ walk from the centre of town.
This convenient location, combined with well-laid out accommodation, including five double-bedrooms — two en-suite — makes it fantastic for a family.
Breakfast, formal dining, relaxing and cooking can all be done with space to spare and there is scope to house a relative in comfort.
Reached by inner halls off the big kitchen/breakfast room is good-sized bedroom five, a shower room and a utility room, which could all create an annexe with its own rear entrance.
The detached house is set well back from the road by its big front garden and comes with half-an-acre.
The owners bought it a couple of years after it was built and made a number of improvements, including clearing trees from the gardens and having them professionally landscaped, re-modelling the parking area — now large enough for a good number of cars — and neatly block-paving the driveway leading to it.
A new hardwood staircase was installed in the hallway with matching hardwood glazed double doors to the lounge, re-decoration was carried out with neutral carpets laid and the kitchen was upgraded with a breakfast bar, new worktop, additional smart units and quality Neff appliances.
In the roomy entrance hall is a cloaks’ cupboard and stairs to the galleried upstairs landing.
Running from the front to the rear of the house, and with lovely garden views, is the 31ft by 16ft lounge with a flame gas fire within a fireplace with marble inset and decorative wooden surround.
The dining room next door looks over the back garden through sliding doors to the large raised deck.
The breakfast area in the adjacent kitchen/breakfast room has a wide front window, while the kitchen area is rear-facing with an extensive range of white units, contrasting dark worktops, a breakfast bar seating four, a double electric oven, microwave, induction hob, American-style fridge-freezer and integrated dishwasher.
Quality Karndean flooring continues from this room into the inner hallways, shower room and utility room with beech-style units and plumbing for a washing machine.
Neutral carpeting features in front-facing bedroom five, on the stairs, upstairs landing and four bedrooms, each of which have extensive fitted wardrobes.
The large front-facing master bedroom and spacious front-facing bedroom two each have an en-suite bathroom with a white suite and fully tiled walls.
Bedroom three is rear-facing while bedroom four has a front garden outlook.
Completing the accommodation is the family bathroom with fully tiled walls and a white suite.
The well-enclosed lawned back gardens include mature shrubs in attractive shaped beds, a large oak, crab apple and silver birch.
There is storage space beneath the large deck and a workshop with power and light.
