Summary - BRIARWOOD HOUSE CHURCH HILL TOTLAND BAY PO39 0EU
7 bed 3 bath Detached
Large character house with gardens a short walk from Totland Bay beach.
Seven bedrooms across three floors, ample family accommodation
Briarwood House is a substantial Victorian detached home set on a very large private plot a short walk from Totland Bay beach. The house retains strong period character — high ceilings, exposed timber floorboards, bay windows and original fireplaces — and offers generous family living across three floors with up to seven bedrooms, a conservatory and multiple reception rooms.
The heart of the house is a recently refurbished, bespoke oak kitchen/breakfast room with useful study area and adjacent utility/boot room. Living spaces flow well for family use and entertaining: a formal dining room, sitting room with multi-fuel stove, cellar storage and a conservatory overlooking the former tennis lawn. Outside, there is plenty of off-road parking, a detached garage and extensive, secluded gardens including a hidden vegetable area and mature specimen trees.
Practical details to note: the property was built in the 1930s–1940s with cavity walls assumed uninsulated, double glazing pre-dates 2002 and the EPC is band E. Heating is mains-gas boiler and radiators; a modern pressurised hot water system is installed. Council tax is in a higher band (Band G), so running costs will reflect the house size and status.
This is a strong choice for a family seeking a character home with sizable outdoor space and near-coast lifestyle, or for buyers wanting a substantial period house to adapt further. Some energy-improvement work and modernisation in places would improve comfort and efficiency and could add value, but the property is structurally traditional and habitable with many upgraded elements already in place.
