Dunbar House, Brook
£695,000
Description
Dunbar House presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a unique Swedish-style bungalow with three double bedrooms, open-plan living, wraparound gardens, and a large driveway, situated in a highly sought-after coastal location, just moments from the stunning beaches of Brook and Compton Bay.
Coming to the market for the first time in 35 years, DH presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial detached bungalow in a prime location, offering well balanced accommodation and significant scope for modernisation. Set within a generous plot in a peaceful and established setting, the property has been well maintained and cared for over the years. This unique home boasts high vaulted ceilings elevating the feeling of space and is designed to make the most of its South facing aspect, with extensive double and triple glazed sliding doors looking out onto the expansive gardens, plus a conservatory and sun-trap patio area. At the front of the house (facing North) there is an ample driveway and parking area for a number of vehicles, together with wooden sheds.
The accommodation comprises an entrance hall with cloaks cupboard, leading to the living room with open plan kitchen, which is the heart of the home. A door leads off to bedroom one, which has a dressing area and en-suite shower room and patio doors to the garden. The living area joins to a dining area with bifold doors to the conservatory and doors leading to two further double bedrooms and a bathroom. Outside, the generous gardens create a private and attractive setting, complemented by a useful outbuilding, incorporating both a workshop and potting shed.
Brook itself has a church and community Seely hall in the village, and is approximately five minutes drive from Brighstone village, which has a well stocked local shop, primary school, pub, church, community hall and GP surgery. Freshwater in the other direction has a supermarket, garden centre, library, shops and cafes and a leisure centre with swimming pool. Brook is served by the Southern Vectis bus route 12 which links to Freshwater, Totland and Newport as well as intermediate villages. Within 15 minutes drive is the pretty seaside town of Yarmouth, with its sailing club and marina, which also provides a regular ferry and train links to London and the mainland. Positioned within a National Landscape (formerly known as AONB), a network of scenic rural and coastal footpaths, including the famous Tennyson Trail are very nearby and the unspoilt, picturesque sandy beaches of Brook and Compton Bay are a short stroll away where you can spend long relaxing days on the coast.
Welcome to Dunbar House
Tucked away from the road and approached via a sweeping driveway providing ample parking, the property sits comfortably within its generous plot, framed by established planting and mature trees. The Swedish chalet-style design sits naturally within the surroundings, while the wide frontage and lawned gardens create an inviting sense of space. A covered porch, with an adjoining carport, leads into the entrance hall.
Entrance Hall
The entrance hall offers a welcoming introduction to the home and provides access to both the living areas and bedrooms. The space functions as a central hub connecting the various rooms while offering practical storage for coats and shoes.
Open-Plan Living Room and Kitchen
Flooded with natural light and enjoying impressive proportions, the open-plan sitting room forms the heart of the home. Arranged around a distinctive central fireplace, the space offers clearly defined areas for both relaxation and conversation while maintaining an open and sociable atmosphere with the kitchen area. Large windows and doors allow natural light to fill the room and provide an attractive outlook towards the garden.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of base, wall and tall cabinets with integrated appliances, including a double oven, electric hobs, and plenty of storage. A large window to the rear aspect overlooks the rear door and garden, plus there is access to the utility room from here.

Surrounded by glazing, the room benefits from excellent natural light and provides an ideal setting for informal seating or relaxed dining. Doors open directly onto the terrace, strengthening the connection between indoor and outdoor living.

Gardens
The gardens surrounding the property create a particularly appealing feature of the home.
