However you are still within a ten to fifteen minute walk to Carisbrooke village where you can find the local doctors, shops and pubs/restaurants as well as a frequent bus service.

From its two foot thick walls to the triple aspect kitchen/diner you will fall in love with every single piece of this fantastic period cottage. As you pull up to your large gated driveway with ample parking you will be greeted with an extremely pretty cottage believed to be built out of natural stone imported from France and a naturally occurring wisteria plant creeping up the face of the property in the shape of the Isle of Wight.As you enter via the enclosed porch you are lead into a bright and spacious 20ft kitchen/diner with double doors leading onto patio covered with a retractable awning. Perfect for keeping the midday sun off you while you relax in you sunny westerly facing garden.

From here you will find a lovely view of Carisbrooke castle and beyond. As you head further down the garden you will come across a lovely summer house with mains power currently being used as an art studio and a large workshop/garage perfect for the craftsman in you. With its mains power and water you can work into the night on whatever form of tinkering takes your fancy.
