About this property
Welcome to Eastwood
Eastwood is a truly special detached bungalow occupying an idyllic rural position surrounded by rolling countryside and beautifully established gardens extending to approximately half an acre. Rich in history and character, the home was originally purchased as a kit house from the 1935 Ideal Home Show and has been thoughtfully extended during approximately seventy years of ownership. Now presenting an exciting opportunity for a new owner, Eastwood offers exceptional scope to modernise and create a stunning countryside home tailored entirely to individual taste and lifestyle requirements. The true magic of Eastwood lies within its extraordinary setting. Surrounded by mature planting and enjoying fabulous far-reaching views stretching towards Culver Down, the property offers a rare sense of peace, privacy and rural beauty. Whether envisioned as a tranquil permanent residence, an idyllic Island retreat or a beautifully reimagined character home, Eastwood represents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a substantial plot in one of the area’s most enchanting countryside locations.
Eastwood is nestled in a quiet and private spot between Alverstone Village and the enchanting Borthwood, and is conveniently positioned within easy reach of the towns of Shanklin and Sandown which are only a short drive away. Sandown and Shanklin provide extensive amenities with a wide range of shops and supermarkets, pubs and restaurants, cultural activities, and glorious sandy beaches. Newport, the Island’s central town, is located just under half an hour away which also provides a wide range of shops and supermarkets, eateries, and events. Eastwood also enjoys access to an abundance of rural walks and cycling routes nearby including the scenic Red Squirrel cycle path linking to Sandown and Newport, taking you through red squirrel inhabited woodland, farmland, estuaries and stretches of the Island’s magnificent coastline. The surrounding area offers an enviable lifestyle immersed in nature, where peaceful countryside living and spectacular scenery can be enjoyed year-round.
Please note, as a kit home with non-traditional construction (timber frame/cement board), Eastwood is suitable for cash purchasers only.
