23 Vaughan Way Luccombe | | | PO37 6SD Seller Insight

We have lived here since 2005 and it has been a wonderful home to bring up our family. We are only a few minutes from the beach and the boys have enjoyed playing football in the field. However, we are starting a new chapter in our lives and hope that another family will get as much pleasure from this lovely home as we have over the past 16 years.

Shanklin is a delightful seaside resort including the impressive Shanklin beach that was winner of the Beach of the Year Award in the Countryfile Magazine in 2019. The beach is approximately a 10 to 15-minute walk away. The Old Village is a short walk away with its charming thatched cottages, independent shops, restaurants and pubs while the Shanklin Theatre provides a variety of professional and amateur shows for evening entertainment. There is a real feeling of community and, if you enjoy the ‘great outdoors’ there is nothing like a bracing walk with the dog or a cycle ride to or . You will also find suitable infant nurseries in the vicinity as well as two good primary schools.”*

If you are looking for a spacious and impressive detached family home with more than four acres of garden and grounds, this attractive property built in 2000 could tick all the right boxes. It provides plenty of flexible accommodation to suit a variety of needs. The property also includes solar panels which capture the sun’s rays to provide electricity for the house and an annual income. These are sited in a large field which is adjacent to the home. The field is currently left for the benefit of the local flora and fauna but could always become paddocks for horses or other animals.

With its arched eaves and bay windows the house offers charm and character from the moment you walk up the steps to the front door and into the spacious hall with its wood flooring and staircase leading to a galleried landing. There is a delightful double aspect lounge with a bay window and views over the countryside that could always become an office for anyone working from home. As it is near the downstairs cloakroom it also means that business visitors would not need to venture in the private areas of the house. There is a large lounge with a feature brick fireplace and a wood burner as well as French doors to the rear terrace. There is a good size light and bright dining room with windows on two sides including a bay window that is ideal for more formal occasions but also makes an excellent sitting room.

The true hub of the household is the well-proportioned kitchen / breakfast area with its central island incorporating a hob, storage units and a granite worktop as well as additional wall and floor units housing an oven, dishwasher and American style fridge freezer. There is a separate breakfast bar and a dining area that leads through double glazed doors to the spectacular sun room that has stunning all round views over the garden and doors to the decked terrace. A fitted utility room with a washing machine adjacent to the kitchen leads to the block paved driveway, patio area and double garage.

Upstairs the galleried landing is large enough to incorporate an office area and could if required always be converted to provide an additional bedroom. It leads to the family bathroom and four double bedrooms including a guest room with white and glass wardrobes as well as an en-suite bath and shower and the large main bedroom with its oak shaker style wardrobes and large en-suite shower.

Outside there is room for two cars in the garage and three or four cars on the driveway. Sweeping lawns interspersed with mature trees and shrub beds wrap around the property. Beyond the rear patio are steps and a gravel path leading to a small bridge with access to a large room above the garage. This spans the length of the garage and includes a Velux window with views over the Downs. Being a bit of a blank canvas, this room could be used for a variety of purposes including a gym, office, studio or games room.
