Townhouse With 4 Bedrooms Within Harbour Location - Fantastic waterside views and a 180 degree field of vision over Brading Marshes, gives an ever changing landscape and can be really appreciated from the two balconies on the first and third floors, the top full width balcony is deep enough for dining al-fresco whilst enjoying the incredible views. There are also three bathrooms, two reception rooms, kitchen, utility room, off road parking for 2/3 vehicles as well as an internal garage. A family home and successful holiday let, this modern property is ready to move in and is chain free.
12 Port St Helens - Set on the South Quay of Bembridge Marina, 12 Port St. Helens is an extremely desirable four floor home with uninterrupted, far reaching, outstanding and dynamic views from each window. The North panorama, almost 180°, is the whole of Bembridge Harbour and The Solent beyond and the mainland from Hayling Island to Chichester: watch the cruise liners, shipping and yachts come and go. The South panorama, also almost 180°, sweeps from Bembridge Windmill to Brading Village Church encompassing the RSPB Brading Marsh wetland sanctuary, Bembridge Airport and the NT Bembridge Downs. Keep your binoculars ready as the vistas are always changing and there’s so much to watch. You have a birdseye elevation of the Reserve, which is a habitat for an array of protected wild species, rare visitors and ground nesting birds such as Lapwing which breed here annually. The recently introduced White-Tailed Eagles are spotted frequently.
Wake up to amazing sunrises, spectacular skies and, in the evening, watch as the golden hour makes the reeds and harbour glow. From the back door walk directly onto the quayside, cross the Mill Wall to the NT Duver sand dunes and Old Church beach and continue to secluded Priory Bay, Seaview Village and Puckpool Park; All without coming close to a road.
Interior - There are four bedrooms and three bathrooms, a large sitting/dining room, garden room, kitchen, utility room and garage.
The principal bedroom suite, with its high pitched ceiling, includes a mezzanine floor as an additional sleeping area or raised relaxation space. Bi-fold doors give a smooth transition between inside and out.
There is potential to extend onto the quayside as well as the opportunity to convert the ground floor to a self contained apartment or extended garden room.
Exterior - At the rear, an open paved patio leads to the grassed quayside; an ideal area for outdoor dining and relaxing by the water’s edge. Recently, the Port St. Helens residents jointly purchased the whole quayside to preserve it for private use and enjoyment.
At the fore of the property is off road parking for 2 or 3 vehicles and a large garage which could house a small boat.
St Helens - St. Helens has a village store, restaurant, a pub and an antiquarian bookshop. Walk the old railway line bordering the RSPB Reserve around the embankment to Bembridge Village.
Bembridge Village Centre has a diverse selection of shops, bistros and a pub; on the way to the Lifeboat Station is Lane End supermarket, Anu Beauty and a Delicatessen.
The Harbour offers mooring and boatyard facilities, fishing trips, RYA training at Tackt-Isle Adventures and two sailing clubs. A two-minute stroll along the quay leads to Brading Haven Yacht Club.
