WHILE its tranquil outside space is a gardener’s dream, the interior of a Winford home is also impressive.

Immaculate and airy, the three-bedroom accommodation, at 1 Winford Way, combines with its landscaped gardens to make a desirable package.

Added to this is the chalet bungalow’s location, with Newport only around a quarter of an hour’s drive away and Sandown and Shanklin even closer. There is a good bus service.

Surrounding countryside and ancient Borthwood Copse just up the road are all well served by footpaths and ideal for walkers and those with dogs to exercise.

You don’t have to leave home, however, to get fresh air in lovely surroundings, as the garden has paths of its own to wander along and several spots to sit and relax in the sun.

The well designed back gardens include a large, decked area, paved pathways meandering to a gazebo and other paths leading to a summerhouse and seating areas.

The gardens are full of interest, with a wide array of mature shrubs and trees, including eucalyptus, bamboo and tall grasses. As well as a climber-covered archway, there are raised flower beds, shingled areas and a water feature.

In the evening, outside lighting brings the whole scene to magical life.

A lawned garden with inset flower and shrub beds fronts the house and a wide driveway leads to a large garage with an electrically-operated up-and-over door, power and light, storage space and doors to the garden and utility room.

The spacious entrance hall has laminate flooring and a storage cupboard.

Windows to the front, side and rear make the good-sized lounge light and airy. This room has a flame gas fire, laminate flooring and doors to the magnificent conservatory. At 21ft long, the double-glazed conservatory has the effect of bringing the gardens inside, with two sets of French doors.

It has decorative ceramic floor tiles, a Victorian-style roof and three radiators, enabling it to be used all year.

As well as being linked to the lounge, it also has double doors to the dining area of the 20ft long kitchen/dining room.

Contemporary, high-gloss units are fitted in the kitchen, which also has a built-in electric oven and gas hob with an extractor hood.

More glossy units can be found in the adjoining utility room, which has plumbing for a washing machine.

The downstairs shower room has a white Roca suite, including a shower cubicle, curved corner vanity unit washbasin and WC with concealed cistern.

Also on the ground floor is bedroom three with a front garden outlook.

Karndean tiled flooring enhances the family bathroom upstairs, which has a fresh white suite.

Bedrooms one and two are both double-aspect rooms with built-in wardrobes.
