However you are still within a ten to fifteen minute walk to Carisbrooke village where you can find the local doctors, shops and pubs/restaurants as well as a frequent bus service. Carisbrooke is well known for being a hub for dog walkers due to its easy access to the infamous Castle and a multitude of public bridle paths heading out across the picturesque landscape.This family home really has it all. From its two foot thick walls to the triple aspect kitchen/diner you will fall in love with every single piece of this fantastic period cottage. As you pull up to your large gated driveway with ample parking you will be greeted with an extremely pretty cottage believed to be built out of natural stone imported from France and a naturally occurring wisteria plant creeping up the face of the property in the shape of the Isle of Wight.As you enter via the enclosed porch you are lead into a bright and spacious 20ft kitchen/diner with double doors leading onto patio covered with a retractable awning. Perfect for keeping the midday sun off you while you relax in you sunny westerly facing garden. At the rear of the kitchen there is a spacious utility room with doors leading onto a downstairs WC and garden. Moving on from the kitchen you will find a double aspect formal dining room that will surely be used regularly when the family pop round for Sunday lunch. The final room on the ground floor is a generously sized living room with a clear view multi fuel burner and French doors leading onto your front garden to enjoy the early morning sun with a cup of coffee to set you up for the day ahead.Upstairs you will be pleased to find a large and bright master bedroom with fully fitted en-suite bathroom and some of the most beautiful views you will find from such a central location.

From here you will find a lovely view of Carisbrooke castle and beyond. As you head further down the garden you will come across a lovely summer house with mains power currently being used as an art studio and a large workshop/garage perfect for the craftsman in you. With its mains power and water you can work into the night on whatever form of tinkering takes your fancy.
