Summary - Tinkers Coppice, Victoria Avenue PO37 6QL
2 bed 1 bath Detached Bungalow
Semi-rural fixer with large garden and strong extension potential.
Chain free detached chalet bungalow on about one-acre plot
Set in just under an acre of slightly elevated land, this detached chalet-style bungalow offers rare scope for someone seeking a substantial renovation project with long-term upside. The property is offered chain free and sits around 1.3 miles from Shanklin town centre and the Old Village, yet enjoys a semi-rural feel with countryside walks on the doorstep. A detached double garage, disused outdoor pool and mature gardens add useful space and development potential (subject to planning permission).
By modern standards the bungalow requires considerable updating throughout: the roof shows wear, internal spaces are dated with low to standard ceilings, and some services (drainage) are listed as TBC. The layout includes generous ground-floor reception rooms, a conservatory and a loft-converted bedroom, plus a large lean-to. Secondary glazing, a mains gas boiler and radiators are already in place, which reduces some immediate replacement needs.
This house suits a buyer looking to refurbish, extend or remodel—either as a comfortable downsizer’s finished home or as a holding/improvement investment. The very large plot creates options for garden redesign, an extension (subject to planning) or reactivating the pool area. Early viewing is advised to appreciate the scale and siting of the land and buildings.
Notable practical points: council tax Band E, freehold tenure, no known flood risk, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and local schools with mixed Ofsted outcomes nearby. Renovation costs should be considered when assessing value and scope for change.
