The Lake House, Bathingbourne Lane, Bathingbourne, Isle Of Wight, PO37

Surrounded by countryside and sitting in 4 acres of gardens, The Lakehouse overlooks the well-stocked gardens and lake from a slightly elevated position. The house has been renovated throughout, boasting some green credentials with water fed underfloor heating to the ground floor and electric underfloor heating to the bathrooms which can be programmed separately. The windows are double glazed, aluminium and finished in anthracite grey. The layout is traditional with 4 bedrooms to the first floor but, could accommodate an annexe including the 5th bedroom and adjoining rooms on the ground floor. There are many possibilities for those buyers wishing to explore the concept of creating a revenue stream from the land, subject to the usual permissions. A 1 acre paddock adjacent to the property could potentially be available as a separate negotiation.
