Description
Presenting a mix of period character and well-presented modern interiors, this three-bedroom home benefits from two versatile reception rooms, a low-maintenance rear garden, and a convenient seaside location.

Believed to date back to around 1870, this appealing semi-detached Victorian house benefits from a full refurbishment over the past few years to offer well-presented, modern finishes with an opportunity for further moderation if desired. With traditional features such as skirting boards, chimney breasts, and a charming bay frontage, 20 Cross Street enjoys a welcoming entrance hall with exposed wooden floorboards flowing to two reception rooms which offer the versatility to create an additional bedroom. Tucked away to the rear of the property, a modern good-sized kitchen is located at the end of the entrance hall and benefits from a range of integrated appliances plus access to the rear garden. Forming the first floor of this wonderful home is a traditional split-level landing leading to two double-sized bedrooms, a small double bedroom, a family bathroom, and a separate cloakroom.

Outside, a fully enclosed rear garden offers a low-maintenance, paved environment providing plenty of space for garden furniture and a versatile blank canvas for any keen gardener to get creative with. To the side elevation of the property is a gated hardstanding area which could provide fantastic potential to extend the home (subject to planning consent) or be used for multiple purposes including off-road parking for a small vehicle such as a motorcycle or additional space for the rear garden.

The property is set in a wonderful coastal location close to an abundance of amenities and the award-winning golden beaches of Sandown Bay located just a short stroll away, offering plenty of seafront activities. Providing a convenient lifestyle, Sandown High Street is located on the doorstep and offers a range of great shops, convenience stores, cafes, and restaurants. Plenty of watersports are available in the bay and The Heights Leisure Centre is within short walking distance from the property, which offers fitness classes and a gym, a large swimming pool, and a health suite. Sandown is served by Southern Vectis bus routes 2, 3, and 8 providing direct services to Bembridge, Newport, Ryde, Shanklin, and Ventnor. Sandown train station is also located within a 15-minute walk from 20 Cross Street providing a direct connection to high-speed foot passenger ferry services from Ryde to the mainland. Additionally, the Fishbourne to Portsmouth car ferry service can be reached within a 30-minute drive.
