Summary - 8 SCOTCHELLS CLOSE SHANKLIN PO37 7EL
2 bed 1 bath Detached Bungalow
Single-level home with garage, large garden and wide countryside views.
Detached single-story bungalow with two double bedrooms
Set back in a quiet cul-de-sac just over a mile from Shanklin town centre, this detached two-bedroom bungalow offers comfortable single-level living with generous gardens and far-reaching downland views. The layout is practical: an open hall, roomy lounge and a refitted kitchen/diner that opens to the rear garden by French doors — good for easy indoor-outdoor flow. Two well-proportioned bedrooms both take advantage of the countryside outlook.
The home has practical, modern comforts including gas central heating, a refitted bathroom and kitchen, and replacement uPVC double glazing (fitted before 2002). Solar panels are installed and contributing to running-cost savings; they remain on a lease remaining from 2012 (buyer to note lease terms). Parking is straightforward with space for two cars on the driveway and a single garage with power and rear access.
The plot is a definite asset: a large, mainly lawned rear garden with a chalet/shed and attractive background views — private and low-maintenance for most owners, but with scope for landscaping or extensions subject to consent. Constructed in the late 1960s–1970s, the property reflects mid-century proportions and solid cavity-wall construction; while well maintained, some buyers may want to update decor or fittings to their own taste.
Well suited to downsizers, retirees or anyone seeking single-floor living near local amenities and supermarkets, this bungalow combines a peaceful setting with convenient access to schools, shops and leisure facilities. Council Tax Band C and fast broadband add to the practical appeal. Buyers should be aware of the solar panel lease and the age of the double glazing when considering long-term ownership costs.
