This impressive detached Victorian residence has a self-contained ground floor apartment with independent access, which could be used as an annexe. The property is centrally located and so all parts of the island including the ferry ports are easily accessible. It is set well back from the road with a large front lawn and pathway to the imposing arched entrance porch. The attractive exterior incorporates interesting features such as pale brickwork with patterned inserts, double glazed sash windows and a bay window with a charming juliet balcony above.

The wide period front door opens into the large entrance hall with a wealth of period features including high coved ceilings, ornate archways with decorative plaster corbels, the lovely original staircase and panelled doors. There is plenty of flexible accommodation including a spacious family/games room with a bay window complete with window bench seat and underneath storage, lovely ceiling rose, picture rails and an imposing cast iron fireplace with tiled insets and a wood surround. Next door the elegant lounge also includes an attractive cast iron fireplace as well as a picture rail and ceiling rose. A third reception room is currently used as a dining room although it would also make an excellent office for anyone working from home. The colourful and contemporary kitchen/breakfast room is where the family spend much of their time. It includes a central island/breakfast bar with a granite worktop, an inset Aga cooker and an American style fridge freezer. There are pale grey wooden units housing a gas hob, dishwasher and washing machine as well as French doors leading to a large decking area with wide steps down to the spacious but easy-to-manage rear garden. There is also a cloakroom on the ground floor and access to an inner lobby with a storage cupboard and a door to the self-contained apartment. This includes a double bedroom with en-suite shower room as well as an open plan kitchen/living area with an external door to the front garden. Off the first-floor landing of the main house is a charming family bathroom with a stand-alone bath, together with four double bedrooms and an additional smaller bedroom which is currently a nursery but could also be used as a dressing room or perhaps a study.

What the Owner says:
This property has been perfect for our growing family over the last nine years. It is very conveniently located, just a 5-minute walk into Newport town centre (with many pubs, restaurants and shops) and a 7-minute walk to the children's schools and pre-school. There is access to a private footpath which means Victoria Recreation Ground is just 5 minutes away. A little further but still within easy walking distance are Carisbrooke Castle, the cycle track to Cowes, the Quay Arts Centre and Seaclose Park as well as some lovely walks by the river Medina. If travelling by bike or car, several beaches are a short drive away - Gurnard seafront being our personal favourite with a beautiful walk along the promenade into Cowes (which also provides easy access to Southampton on the Red Jet in less than half an hour).
Set back from the main road, the house itself has a beautiful flowering garden at the front and a large lawned garden at the rear. Inside, the rooms are light and spacious with beautiful high ornate ceilings and many original Victorian features. A more recent addition to the house is the modern light and airy annexe built in 2018. This could be used as an annexe, guest suite, Air B&B type venture or as home business accommodation. The house is full of history and was even used as a Doctors' Surgery at one time. Most recently it has been a much-loved family home and we will be very sad to say goodbye to it. We hope the new owners will treasure the house as much as we have.
