9 Solent Lawns

This light and airy contemporary home is located in a coveted cul de sac of homes that were completed in 2012. The spacious accommodation is arranged over three floors and provides four bedrooms with a largely open plan middle floor with kitchen/dining room and living room with wide balconies to both the fore and rear. The home is of a high standard with underfloor heating throughout and powder coated aluminium double glazed windows and doors, as well as glazed balustrades to the balconies to provide uninterrupted views.

Interior

Ground Floor:

A glass door at the side of the home opens to a lovely entrance hallway, with wooden flooring which continues through to the two bedrooms. A beautiful curved staircase with solid oak treads leads to the upper floors, with a large understairs cupboard that houses the hot water cylinder with space for coats.
There are two bedrooms, one with two fitted wardrobes, the other currently utilised as a good size study- both enjoying views across the garden to the woodland.
A family bathroom services the ground floor and is mostly tiled in elegant limestone with a 'Rain head' shower over a large bath, and a concealed cistern wall hung WC, wash basin and heated towel rail.
Utility Room is a very useful space with built-in cupboards, a basin set into the worksurface and space for both washing machine and dryer.

Middle Floor:

A really lovely space that can be connected by folding back double doors to both the kitchen and sitting room.
The elegant sitting room to the fore is generous in size with bi-folding doors that stretch the full width of the room, opening out to a super balcony with glass balustrades. This in itself is a lovely space to entertain, day or evening as it has soft outside lighting, or just enjoy the views across to the woodland. There are two lengths of built in cupboards with shelving above and a side window looking across to the woodland. A cloakroom sits off the wide landing area. Double doors open to the kitchen and dining area, fitted with a good range of ‘Crown Imperial’ units with Corian counter top with inset basin and mixer tap. An island separates the kitchen from the ample dining area, with fitted cupboards and shelves and a wine cooler. Integral Bosch appliances include a fridge, freezer, dishwasher, ceramic hob with extractor and double oven. Sliding doors open onto a lovely size balcony, again with glazed balustrading that thoughtfully includes a frosted glazed panel for privacy. The balcony faces south and enjoys dappled sunlight and the sound of beautiful birdsong from the woodland, completely idyllic and secluded.

Top Floor:

The curved staircase opens out to a light landing space with Velux window. The generous Principal Bedroom Suite encompasses half of the top floor, with vaulted ceiling, two built-in wardrobes that incorporate a dressing table and full height doors to a 'Juliet' balcony. In addition, a dressing room/walk in wardrobe and an en-suite shower room with limestone tiles with a large walk-in shower with rainfall head and riser, wash basin, WC and heated towel rail.

Bedroom 2 with En-suite
A large double bedroom with vaulted ceiling and two double built-in cupboards. Full height glazed doors opening to a 'Juliet' balcony that looks out to the garden and woodland.
The shower room, as before, tiled in elegant limestone with shower, wash basin, heated towel rail and WC.

Exterior

A block paved driveway leads up to a large double width carport, which can accommodate in total space to park at least four large cars or use as boat storage- also with automatic lighting. Gated access along both sides with well tended borders; the path that leads to the entrance has a lovely terrace with a seating area with shrubs and trees, including a fig tree. This home has a southerly facing secluded garden at the rear, and has been designed to provide an undercover seating area at the top near the house. A lawn is surrounded with mature shrubs along the boundary. Steps lead down from the lawn to another decked terrace where you can find a garden store (10’ x 8’), potting shed and a small greenhouse.

A gateway from the terrace leads to the adjoining managed amenity woodland of approximately 3 acres, with a pretty and maintained path that meanders through the woodland towards The Woodvale, dinghy park and beach whilst another path leads up towards the village and shops on Worsley Road.

Gurnard

Gurnard is a pretty coastal village which has an iconic row of green beach huts at Gurnard Green. It lies to the west of the famous yachting town of Cowes with good mainland connections via the 'Red Jet' to Southampton.
The village has a great community spirit and amenities include a local convenience shop, bistro/cafe, two popular public houses, a church, a fitness centre, a busy sailing club and a superb local primary school and High School. There is a fabulous array of countryside and coastal paths which are all within easy walking distance.

The village shops are a short walk away and nearby Cowes can be accessed along the seafront, where there are a wide range of shops, restaurants, sailing facilities and frequent passenger ferries to Southampton, taking about 22 minutes with onward train connections to London.
