Summary - WELLESLEY HOUSE BLACKBRIDGE ROAD FRESHWATER PO40 9QP
4 bed 1 bath Detached
Character-filled detached house near the seafront with large garden and parking.
Four double/large bedrooms plus smaller fourth bedroom and attic storage/loft potential
Wellesley House is a 1930s detached family home set back behind a mature front garden in the sought-after Freshwater Bay area. The house retains period character—stripped wooden floors, bay windows and an open hallway—while a full-width open-plan rear room, bespoke kitchen and gas Rayburn create a warm, family-centred ground floor. The plot is generous for the area, with a south-facing, well-established rear garden, patio, summerhouse and gated access to additional parking via a private lane.
Practical positives include off-street parking to the front and a rear carport, mains broadband and excellent mobile signal. The property is freehold and offers clear scope to add value: the boarded attic could be converted subject to planning and building regulations, and the layout invites sympathetic modernisation throughout. The Rayburn provides cooking, hot water and some heating, giving period charm and usable secondary heat.
Notable considerations are factual and important: the main heating is electric storage heaters despite the Rayburn, the EPC is currently band E, and double glazing was installed before 2002. There is a single family bathroom and four bedrooms, so larger families may want to reconfigure or extend. Some updating will be needed to modernise services and finishes if a buyer seeks higher energy efficiency or contemporary styling.
