Single-floor retirement living moments from shops, buses and the cliff path.
Detached single-storey bungalow with wrap-around gardens
This detached two-bedroom bungalow on Porter Avenue offers single-level living in a quiet Sandown street, well-suited to those seeking a low‑maintenance retirement home near amenities and the coast. The layout is traditional and bright, with gas central heating, double glazing and useful outbuildings including a detached garage, summer house and garden shed. The wrap‑around gardens and driveway provide private outdoor space and off‑road parking.
The property has been a long-standing home for the current owner and presents clear potential for updating. The kitchen and some internal finishes are dated and will benefit from modernisation; buyers should expect cosmetic refurbishment to bring the interior up to contemporary standards. Cavity walls show partial insulation (assumed) and glazing predates 2002, so there may be opportunities to improve energy efficiency.
Practical positives include a chain-free freehold sale, easy access to local shops, a short walk to bus routes and the coastal path, and low local crime. The home is small overall (about 516 sq ft) and best suited to downsizers or retirees wanting comfortable, manageable accommodation rather than a family needing extensive living space.
