This stunning apartment offers a unique opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented, traditional first floor apartment with views over the Quay, and is just a short walk to local amenities.

Believed to date back to the mid-18th Century, this stunning apartment resides within the former pub that was established in the late 18th Century. The first-floor apartment has been fantastically renovated and restored to its former glory by the current owner of 20 years which includes new electrics, a new unvented hot water cylinder, replastering, and reinsulating - all of which was completed around 8 years ago. The apartment boasts plenty of traditional features including sash windows with shutters, deep skirting boards and picture rails; just to name a few. The accommodation comprises a spacious living/dining room, a kitchen, and a double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. With lovely views over the Newport Quay, there are also a number of lovely walks in the area plus the town centre and high street are close by. On-street permit parking is also permitted for the property just outside.

Just a short walk from the property is the high street with plenty of cosy cafes, bustling bars and restaurants, not to mention the highly regarded Quay Arts Centre with its bustling arts scene and cultural events. A cinema, gym and fast-food restaurants are a blissful 10-minute walk across the river as well as an abundance of supermarkets, pharmacies and pubs. This convenient location also provides the opportunity for a quiet riverside walk along the quay which joins a cycle path to Cowes, or in the opposite direction, a path linking with the Red Squirrel Trail leading through the countryside from Newport to Sandown. Newport bus station is located just 0.3 miles away making it easy to use the frequent Southern Vectis' extensive bus routes all over the island. Some of the island's top attractions are also nearby including the Monkey Haven, the historic Carisbrooke Castle, and the popular Robin Hill Country Park. Being centrally located means you're never far from all the wonderful things that our beautiful island has to offer. Mainland travel links are within a short 20-minute drive from the property including the Wightlink car ferry service from Fishbourne to Portsmouth, Red Funnel car ferry travel from East Cowes to Southampton and the high-speed Red Jet foot passenger service from Cowes to Southampton.
