Property description
This fantastic property is simply described as a “must view”. As soon as you step through the front door this property really does invite you to explore further. With tiled floors, stripped floorboards, beamed ceilings, open fireplaces and lots of nooks and crannies, this home oozes character and charm. Aging from the mid 1700’s, this was once two small cottages that have been converted to one, but with an interesting feature – the upstairs is still in two, each side accessed by two separate staircases. The property has benefited from modernisation over the years, including gas central heating, rewiring and most recently, double glazing throughout most of the property. The lounge area is a fantastic room with beamed ceilings, a little curved staircase to the first floor and a large open fireplace with a log-burner. It’s easy to picture yourself here on a winter’s evening, relaxing in a big armchair, enjoying a book or watching a movie with the log burner blazing away warming the entire cottage. There is a second reception room off the lounge – perfect for the kids to play in, or to use as a guest room. The current owners have added French doors opening on to a decked seating area and have prepared this space to take a conservatory if you wanted to add one. The garden will not be spoilt by this as there is plenty of space to spare – and what a garden! With a large lawn, leading to an area with fruit trees and veggie plots, leading up to a large raised decked platform with a summer house and views across Newport.
What the Owner says:
We especially like the paved area at the top, with a pond and feature wall; it is a lovely spot to sit and enjoy the evening sun. One of the quirkiest features is the Well; a working Well – estimated to be about 70 foot deep, it’s meant to be the same water that runs beneath Carisbrooke Castle!
Now it's just the two of us we want to down size and we are sure whoever buys our home will love it as much as we all have!
