1 bed Flat For Sale £165,000
Situated in a desirable location, this unique one-bedroom apartment forms part of a characterful 18th Century building. Beautifully presented throughout, this apartment benefits from a charming living area, spacious bedroom and an elegant en-suite shower room.
Positioned at the end of the quay, The Dolphin was formally a pub from the late 18th century right up until the 1960’s. The Dolphin was built opposite the warehouses used to store stock that came in off the barges, so it was extremely popular for the warehouse workers and the bargemen.
This unique property is situated in an enviable quayside location in the town of Newport. Recently there have been plans to completely pedestrianise this area and build a new footbridge over the River Medina connecting Sea Close Park at the other side of town. The current Riverside Centre has plans to be expanded and rebuilt into a new cultural venue and destination which is just a moment’s walk from the property.
Just a short walk from the property is the high street with plenty of cosy cafes, bustling bars and restaurants, not to mention the highly regarded Quay Arts Centre with its bustling arts scene and cultural events. A cinema, gym and fast-food restaurants are a blissful 10-minute walk across the river as well as an abundance of supermarkets, pharmacies and pubs. This convenient location also provides the opportunity for a quiet riverside walk along the quay which joins a cycle path to Cowes, or in the opposite direction, a path linking with the Red Squirrel Trail leading through the countryside from Newport to Sandown. Newport bus station is located just 0.3 miles away making it easy to use the frequent Southern Vectis’ extensive bus routes all over the island. Some of the island's top attractions are also nearby including the multi-award-winning Monkey Haven, the historic Carisbrooke Castle, and the popular Robin Hill Country Park. Being centrally located means you're never far from all the wonderful things that our beautiful island has to offer.
Mainland travel links are within a short 20-minute drive from the property including the Wightlink car ferry service from Fishbourne to Portsmouth, Red Funnel car ferry travel from East Cowes to Southampton and the high-speed Red Jet foot passenger service from Cowes to Southampton.
