House For Sale £695,000
This imposing detached residence was originally built in the 1930s and still retains some charming features from a bygone era. It nestles in generous, superb and well-established grounds and is approached via a long drive that goes to a separate double garage and also to the rear of the property. There is a covered entrance porch that leads to the inner hall with its original staircase and provides access to the main rooms on the ground floor including the attractive triple aspect lounge with its bay window, picture rails and brick surround fireplace.
The contemporary kitchen with its Rangemaster induction hob range cooker and attractive sky-blue units housing a microwave, dishwasher and American fridge freezer is a delight and is adjacent to a fitted utility room with access to a cloakroom and a stable door to the garden. Guests will be charmed to enjoy a meal in the fascinating, brick walled dining area that is partially open plan to the kitchen. This dual aspect room includes unusual arched windows with views across the grounds and are a special feature of this interesting property. There is also a lovely dual aspect snug / studio complete with en-suite bathroom and French doors to the garden, that would make an excellent office or bedroom.
Off the galleried landing on the first floor there is a contemporary family bathroom with a bath and separate shower as well as a cloakroom and four bedrooms with views across the grounds. Generally, there have been many recent upgrades to the house including the double glazing and external doors to further enhance heating efficiency.
Outside the sprawling grounds back onto woodland and include large, mature trees and shrubs, sweeping lawns, greenhouse, outbuilding and a terrace for al fresco dining.
What the Owner says:
We bought this house because we loved that it was set back from the road and surrounded by wonderful mature grounds. It is very peaceful and we feel that we are in our own ‘private world'. Every day we can enjoy the wildlife with red squirrels and a wide variety of garden birds. At the same time we are close to Briddlesford Farm shop and café, the Island Riding Centre with its GGs restaurant and walking distance to the local pub The Woodmans Arms and the Isle of Wight Heritage Steam Railway. We are also very well located for access to the mainland as we are close to East Cowes and Fishbourne for the ferries to Southampton and Portsmouth.
The nearby village of Wootton is a friendly community and includes local shops, Wootton Creek with the Lakeside Hotel and Spa, a millpond, St Edmund's church that dates from the 11th century and the 150-year-old Sloop Inn.
Newport is the county town of the Isle of Wight and includes a variety of high street stores and independent shops as well as a wide selection of restaurants and bars. There is a weekly street market and a farmers' market and a number of primary and secondary schools within the vicinity. It is not far from the Shide Nature Reserve and the walks or cycle rides along the River Medina are a real pleasure while the Newport Golf Club is available for golfing enthusiasts.
