Property description

Watson Bull and Porter are delighted to present for sale this impressive five bedroom, family home in an excellent location.

This classic house is situated, around one mile in distance from Newport town centre the Islands capital and offers a superb spacious period property perhaps for those looking to escape from the hustle and bustle of the mainland lifestyle, or simply wishing to upgrade to the highly desirable Shide area.

A number of works have been carried out by the current owners to ensure that the grandeur and character of this Victorian property has been retained. Along the way a few well judged contemporary touches have been added such as the spotlights to the newly plastered ceilings. In fact there's a wealth of high ceilings and decorative cornices on offer as well as sun bathed light rooms, courtesy of the new sash style windows that have been fitted.

Upstairs the first floor accommodation comprises of four large double bedrooms and on the half landing there's a family bathroom with a claw foot bath. The fifth bedroom is located here also which could make for a wonderful nursery.

A big wow to this property is the enviable master bedroom with en-suite bathroom. From its wooden floor, brick feature fireplace and stunning views from the bay window, to the under floor heating and drench shower in the en-suite.

On the ground floor you can enter the home through the side aspect orangery, turning left into the central hallway. To your immediate left you will find a large study/music room with exposed wooden floor boards and a newly installed wood burner.

Across the hall from the study you have the fabulous lounge with bay windows and fireplace. Adjacent is a separate formal dining room with French doors that open into the rear garden and onto the expansive brick patio which stretches across the width of the rear elevation; perfect for entertaining.

The kitchen/breakfast room, cloakroom and laundry area have recently undergone renovation. The largest of these rooms boasts a highly desired Aga which the owners are happy to leave to be enjoyed once again.

Outside, the well laid out and mature gardens are a particular feature and are ornamental in keeping with the period of the property. There is a huge variety of colour within the flower beds and the walled left hand side of the garden, along with the rockeries between the brick patio and lawn; not too dissimilar to the Islands very own kitchen gardens at Osborne House.

To the front the property is bordered from the Lane by a high wall offering a good level of privacy. There is also a gravelled driveway offering off road parking.

The Isle of Wight, situated off the South Coast of England, is becoming an ever-more popular location for second and permanent homes. Originally made popular by Queen Victoria, who had her maritime residence at Osborne, the Island is famous for sailing in the Solent; for Cowes Week; for its beautiful coastline including sandy beaches and The Needles; spectacular countryside and long sunshine hours. There are now many more facilities than once was the case, Sainsbury, Tesco, M&S and Waitrose all now have a presence as have other national chains. Communication and transport links are excellent; regular car ferries connect with the national motorway network and fast catamarans have connections via Southampton and Portsmouth to direct trains to London Waterloo which can be reached within 2 hours of leaving the Island shore. Leisure opportunities abound - walking, riding, paragliding, hang-gliding, team sports - including a cricket academy - as well as sailing, wind surfing and other water sports.
