Details

Denehurst was constructed in 1908 under a tiled roof and provides extensive and flexibly arranged accommodation which has been modernised by the present owners yet retaining an array of original features. There are original wooden floor boards virtually throughout as well as open fireplaces with decorative surrounds to most rooms. The kitchen and bathrooms have been modernised within the past eight years and a large conservatory built to the rear of the house. A new boiler and a hot water cylinder have also been fitted and the majority of windows have secondary glazing. The current owners have created a wonderful garden beautifully planted and landscaped making a great setting for the house. In addition the present owner had a substantial garage and workshop built adjacent to and in keeping with the house.

The house is well located within walking distance of local beaches including Colwell Bay with the amenities of Freshwater and Totland including a range of shops, supermarkets, restaurants and takeaways all being easily accessible. The pretty harbor town of Yarmouth is only about 2 miles away with ferry services to Lymington. The local area has some wonderful coastal and country scenery with excellent walks including along the downs and the River Yar.
