Springwood is an attractive detached house dating from the 1920’s which is situated in a lovely mature garden extending to approximately 0.62 of an acre. The garden was originally laid out by a horticulturalist and beyond the lawns are a wonderful array of mature shrubs and trees as well as an area of woodland to the rear and an attractive gully with an impressive old oak tree. Situated at the far end of Youngwoods Way, this is a quiet, semi rural location yet with easy access to the nearby coastal towns of Shanklin and Sandown with their sandy beaches. The property would now benefit from modernisation but planning consent has recently been achieved to extend the property on two storeys to create an attractive family home.

Outside The property is approached over a shared drive owned by Springwood, leading into a parking area adjacent to the house. Greenhouse, coal store and wooden garden shed. Adjacent to the driveway is a former vegetable garden. To the west of the house is a lawned garden surrounded by a range of borders and mature shrubs and trees providing a quiet setting with an old path leading to a pedestrian gate onto the adjacent lane. The driveway continues to a wooden garage (4.9m x 2.9m, in need of repair). A path leads down into an attractive wooded gully to the south east of the house where there is a very impressive old oak tree. There is a further lawned area and green house to the south. In all the gardens extend to approximately 0.62 acre.

Directions Proceed into Alverstone Garden Village and continue along Youngwoods Way and at the end of the straight proceed down the track ahead of you on the right (with the sign Springwood showing on the right hand side). The entrance into Springwood is the next on the right.

Planning Planning consent has been achieved to extend the property on two storeys on the Eastern elevation. Planning was granted on 29th June 2009 over a period of 3 years and has a reference number of P/00363/09 – TCP/29550. The plans of the proposed layout and existing layout are shown below. Whilst a planning application for a second house was refused, there remains potential, subject to planning and the vendors consent to achieve this. Proposed floor plans can be seen as follows:
