Bembridge, Isle Of Wight

A rare opportunity to acquire a property on Swains Road with a large footprint and planning approval for a replacement substantial four bedroom house with generous gardens and a sunny aspect.

Ely Place is currently a single storey period property offering extensive accommodation and plenty of garden space in addition to vehicular access along the side to a garage and summer house at the foot of the garden. With pebble rendered elevations the property has been extended historically in order to provide large rooms and further accommodation. There is a particularly sunny courtyard in the middle accessed from bedrooms and sitting room. There is plenty of space in the property with generous accommodation and the whole property possesses huge potential for modernisation, remodeling or replacement with a large two storey dwelling which has planning approval.

The location is idyllic, just moments from the sandy beaches of Bembridge and minutes from excellent walking routes on coastal paths to the village centre and Harbour. Bembridge Harbour has extensive mooring facilities and two sailing clubs, whilst the village has a good range of shops, in addition to a butchers, fish mongers, farm shop, cafes and restaurants. There are high speed passenger ferry links to (22mins) Portsmouth from Ryde approximately 7 miles away.
