GREEN Lane, in Shanklin, is a quiet road, close to the town centre, several supermarkets, the railway station and some lovely walks close by.
Conveniently, there is a bus stop just a stone’s throw from this property and local schools and eateries nearby.
Number 8 is a charming, detached chalet bungalow with an attached garage, off-road parking for two cars and a front and rear garden. It is also known as The Cedars and cedar shingle tiles on either end of the house, make this home’s moniker perfectly fitting.
The walled garden to the front provides a level of privacy from the roadside, while still providing plenty of driveway space.
The back garden offers a visual treat. There are mature plants all around, which have been thoughtfully planted to ensure something is always in bloom, whatever the season.
It’s like a haven — very peaceful and very easy to while away the time…if pottering and relaxing in the garden is up your street.
There is also a greenhouse and large fishpond as well as a patio area. The garage is a useful space and has lights and power, as well as an up-and-over door to the front and pedestrian door at the back.
There are two double bedrooms upstairs, overlooking the front of the property, with both benefitting from fitted wardrobes.
The first bedroom also has eaves storage and the second bedroom has a practical sink unit, as well as a vanity unit and drawers among the built-in wardrobes.
Also on the first floor there is the bathroom, housing an airing cupboard. The large landing is light and bright and has a generous amount of eaves storage, spanning its length. Space has been maximised fully in this home, allowing for plenty of storage options throughout.
On the ground floor there is an entrance hall with handy storage under the stairs, a kitchen that overlooks the sunny back garden, a good-size lounge, shower room and dining room, which could easily double as a third bedroom.
In the the recent heatwave, it was very pleasing to find in spite of having a large window to the front of the lounge; one to the side and sliding doors into the garden, this room was delightfully cool.
The Cedars would be an ideal family home or house to retire to as there is an excellent existing footprint with plenty of options to allow you to create your perfect home.
As the garage is attached, that could easily be converted, maximising the living space, but without losing the generous off-road parking.
