6 St Lukes Drive Bembridge | Isle of Wight | PO35 5XA Seller Insight Having lived at the property for 17 years, we’ve wonderful memories of both St Lukes Drive and Bembridge itself. Despite the wonderful location being close to both the beach and Bembridge village, the privacy attached to the property is pretty unique for homes of this type. In terms of Bembridge, the village has won a host of awards, including winning ‘Countryfile Village of the Year 2019’. However, to call Bembridge a village is doing it a disservice – it’s in fact one of the largest villages in the UK. Although Bembridge could be described as a ‘mini-town’ in size, the village still maintains an intimate spirit due to its wealth of independent shops, pubs and restaurants. The place has its own small community, where everybody looks out for each other. A stroll around the shops and refuelling at one of the village’s many haunts after exploring the scenic coastline is as pleasant as it sounds. And that’s not forgetting the beaches in Bembridge – you’re truly spoilt for choice. For sailing and other outdoor pursuits, you’re well catered for. And due to our ample parking, there is space for boat storage when not in use – a sailor’s dream home! Although there is plenty to keep you entertained in Bembridge, the location ensures you have ready access to Ryde, Sandown and Newport, if wishing to venture further afield. We’ve been truly lucky to enjoy both Bembridge and our wonderful property over the years – we hope the next owner enjoys as much as we have. Whether it’s the location for the lover of the outdoors, those that value privacy, or families desiring a spacious property to feel like home, we feel that St Lukes Drive ticked every box for us.”* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.
