Summary - 11 Merrie Gardens, Lake, Isle of Wight PO36 9QS
2 bed 1 bath Detached Bungalow
Comfortable single-storey living near shops and bus links.
Chain free detached bungalow with garage and driveway
Tucked away on Merrie Gardens, this two-bedroom detached bungalow offers an easy, low-maintenance retirement option with room to personalise. Single-storey living, a garage and driveway plus a modest rear garden make daily routines straightforward. The layout is comfortable for downsizers who want convenience without stairs.
The property is chain free and feels quietly residential, close to local shops, a superstore and regular bus services — handy if you prefer not to drive. Rooms are spacious for the bungalow’s overall size (around 668 sq ft), with a living room featuring an older-style fireplace and a kitchen with simple finishes. Gas central heating, cavity walls and double glazing (install date unknown) are already in place.
There is genuine scope to modernise: some fittings and decor are dated and the interior would benefit from updating to suit contemporary tastes. The single shower room and separate WC are functional but modest, so buyers should consider whether refurbishment is needed. The bungalow was built in the early 1990s and is freehold with low local crime and no flood risk.
