Property description

Over the last few centuries, the original body of this beautiful cottage has stood in the lovely rural location of Shalfleet and has been extended over the years to make a comfortable sized home.

The access lane to the cottage sets you well back from the road and there is parking and a garage too. This cottage is a gardeners' dream with extensive grounds, a stream to the far side and many plants, fruit trees and outbuildings such as the aviary.

Internally, the layout is versatile and the current owners have had it gently divided to be two homes. The right hand side is laid out offering a bright kitchen that leads through to separate shower and cloakroom, furthermore there is a study, perfect for use as a home office. Warmed by gas central heating (a dual boiler system), there is also some double glazing to keep out the chill.

The sitting room is a good size and has sliding doors out to the garden, moreover, there is a staircase that leads up to a charming bedroom that looks out over the countryside. There is also an en-suite bathroom.

The left hand side of the cottage has a utility area that leads through to a dining area, and the lounge area and has doors out to the ‘breakfast garden’. There is also a working log burner to provide additional warming for a cosy afternoon spent with a good book.

Upstairs there are two double bedrooms, with bedroom 2 offering plenty of built-in cupboard space. There is a also family bathroom complementing the two bedrooms.

What the Owner says:

When we found this cottage, we knew it was perfect - we wanted to live together but be independent and it worked beautifully! Over the years we have enjoyed the gardens tremendously and there is always so much to see; the squirrels bounding around the trees, the birds singing and even the odd cow in the field behind!

This location is within a short walk to the Horse and Groom public house and with so much countryside to enjoy and the main town of Newport a short drive by car, you really do get the best of both worlds here.
