Set in an elevated position with fantastic creek views, Waterside represents an exciting opportunity to acquire a spacious three-bedroom home with its own pontoon and a self-contained annex.

Tucked away at the end of peaceful Barge Lane, Waterside enjoys an elevated position to maximise the fabulous creek views and offers a serene lifestyle choice whilst being close to the many amenities that Wootton Bridge has to offer. Perfect for those who like to enjoy the Island’s diverse waterways, a private pontoon is located just a short stroll from the property, enabling easy access to lovely Wootton Creek and beyond to fabulous sailing opportunities on the Solent.

With a generous entrance hall, the accommodation of the main home features a modern kitchen-breakfast room and a spacious living room; both of which lead to a generous balcony which spans the entire width of the property and commands mesmerising waterside views. Continuing through the main home, there are three double-sized bedrooms, with one bedroom boasting an en-suite and two of the bedrooms connecting with the beautiful courtyard garden at the rear.

Formerly a garage, the annex on the lower ground floor level boasts independent access from the driveway and has been beautifully converted to provide an open-plan living space with a kitchen, two bedrooms and a shower room.
