DOUBLE-fronted Juniper Cottage, in Love Lane, Bembridge, is a true chocolate-box cottage and is as pretty as a picture.

Certain qualities are needed to make a property exceptional and Juniper Cottage has them in abundance. At its heart, it is a traditional English cottage, oozing with charm. It’s easy to say a property has character but Juniper Cottage most certainly has.
Not only does it ooze such character but it also has that very special ‘je ne sais quoi’, making it feel as though you have unearthed a secret treasure.
Juniper Cottage is found in a very tranquil setting in Love Lane, Bembridge, surrounded by lots of trees and greenery. It’s surprising, as Love Lane is just off Sherborne Street, where the main town centre amenities can be found.
The detached cottage stands in its own plot, with a lovely walled front garden and gated access to a gravel driveway. Lawned gardens wrap around the front, side and rear of this home and are bordered by lots of mature plants offering additional privacy.
There is a detached garage that is longer than standard with power, light and an up-and-over door. At the back of the garage is a store room with its own entrance, perfect for storing gardening odds and ends.
Stepping inside, there is a bright entrance hall leading to the dining room, lounge, kitchen and upstairs to four double bedrooms and the family bathroom.
Downstairs there is also a utility room and separate WC. This home has recently benefited from decoration inside and out and this has been tastefully completed in a neutral palette, maximising the light in what is a very light and airy house.
The lounge boasts a quaint open fireplace with a wooden surround as well as shelves and cupboards built into the chimney breast recess to one side. There is a window to the front and French doors that lead into the rear garden.
Through clever planting, this part of the garden is almost separated from the main body of the garden, making this a very nice place to relax and enjoy the surroundings.
Under the stairs there is a cupboard and open space, perfect for coats and jackets. The dining room is dual aspect and makes you feel like you are within the lovely garden. The country kitchen has plenty of space and leads to the utility room, which in turn has access to the garden.
On the first floor, the master bedroom features built-in wardrobes and is currently open through to the fourth bedroom, presently used as a dressing room. However, should the new owners wish, this could be repartitioned.
The bathroom has a new white suite and is a lovely space. There is also access to a loft and a handy linen cupboard.
Juniper Cottage is a fine property, both inside and out, and would make an exceptional family home.
