4 bedroom detached house for sale

Situated within the quiet Shide area of Newport, this fabulous four-bedroom family home has a flowing layout with generous room sizes, and also benefits from driveway parking, a garage and well-established gardens.

Originally constructed in the 1960s, 3 Queens Road was significantly upgraded and extended to the rear and into the roof by the current owners to transform it into a substantial family home with a versatile layout that could be configured in a number of ways. High-quality finishes combine with a neutral colour palette throughout to create a welcoming ambience in this well-maintained property. Beautifully presented, the living accommodation features a recently updated contemporary kitchen/breakfast room overlooking the rear garden and an adjoining utility/boot room, plus a spacious family lounge which connects seamlessly with the separate dining room through a set of glazed double doors to create the option of a semi open-plan layout. A bedroom on the ground floor is ideally located next to the shower room, providing further versatility, and the ground floor also features a separate office/study. Upstairs, three large bedrooms are served by two bathrooms, and are well arranged to make the most of the views over the characterful rooftops of Shide and on to the rural landscape of St Georges Down beyond.

Queens Road is perfectly placed on the outskirts of Newport, just a short walk from the town centre which offers a wide range of amenities including a variety of shops, a cinema complex, restaurants and cafes. Multiple schools at primary and secondary level are within walking distance and the Southern Vectis bus station is located within the town centre providing an extensive network of bus routes across the Island. The property is also well connected to the surrounding countryside and enjoys easy access to the riverside Red Squirrel cycleway and a historic amble up to the magnificent Carisbrooke Castle. 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 beaches and spectacular coastline. Mainland travel links are located just a 15-minute drive from the property including the Wightlink car ferry from Fishbourne to Portsmouth, the Red Funnel car ferry from East Cowes to Southampton, and the high-speed Red Jet foot passenger service from Cowes to Southampton.
