Sympathetically renovated, this handsome Edwardian home commands far-reaching views towards Carisbrooke Castle and boasts spacious accommodation, a well-designed terraced garden and a driveway with a carport.

Dating back to 1906 and from what we believe to have been owned by just three families, this captivating period home has been lovingly upgraded and maintained over the past 12 years. Retaining the property's unique historic feel, an abundance of elegant Victorian features such as charming fireplaces, decorative wall mouldings and traditional panel doors have all been beautifully preserved and are complemented by chic neutral interiors throughout. With fantastic views towards Carisbrooke Castle, the accommodation offers generously proportioned rooms with modern conveniences including bathroom facilities on each floor and a spacious kitchen-diner which has been beautifully extended to create a sociable, open plan space. Further benefits of this property include a generous, partially renovated attic and plenty of outside space with a workshop to the rear elevation which could provide ample opportunity to extend this already spacious home (subject to planning permission). Occupying a spacious plot, outside offers a well-designed rear garden which has been carefully considered to offer several terraced levels, each created for different purposes. Additionally, there is a garden to the front incorporating a driveway with a carport, providing off-road parking for up to three vehicles.

Surrounded by countryside walks, this historic village location is most famous for being the home of its magnificent castle and boasts an abundance of local amenities such as a well-stocked convenience store with a post office, highly regarded restaurants, two popular family pubs, and a medical centre with a pharmacy. The village also has four schools at primary and secondary level, and The Isle of Wight College is just three miles away. Supermarkets and Newport High Street are also within easy reach from the property offering plenty of amenities including a range of shops, cafes and restaurants, and a cinema. Frequent bus routes serve Clatterford Road and all Island bus services connect at the nearby Newport bus station. Mainland travel links are within easy reach with regular car ferry travel services from Fishbourne to Portsmouth and East Cowes to Southampton which are just a twenty-minute drive away, and the Cowes to Southampton high-speed foot passenger service is only a fifteen-minute journey from the property. Being centrally located means you are never far from all the wonderful delights that the island has to offer, including the beautiful West Wight with its unspoilt rugged coastline.

The traditional layout of the accommodation comprises a welcoming, generous entrance hall which is situated at the heart of the home leading to a sitting room, a music room, a shower room, a utility/boot room and an open-plan kitchen-diner.
