7 bedroom detached house

This impressive seven-bedroom detached family home lies on the outskirts of the charming village of Carisbrooke, famous for its Castle and other historical buildings such as Carisbrooke Priory. The property is also close to the county town of Newport and, because of its central location, is easily accessible to all parts of the island. Originally built in 2003 it nestles in a large plot surrounded by woodland with its own brook within the property boundaries and provides plenty of flexible and attractive accommodation. The family home is accessible through a private road, set back from the main road with a driveway leading to a block paved frontage providing plenty of off-road parking leading up to a large double garage as well as to the covered porch and front door. The reception hall is particularly spacious with a sweeping staircase to the first floor and door access to all the ground floor rooms. This includes the large light and bright, triple aspect lounge with its French doors to the large patio and the delightful inglenook fireplace with a Bressumer beam brick surround and a log burning stove as a focal point. Guests will be delighted to enjoy a meal in the dual aspect dining room that also has French doors to the garden while anyone working from home can take advantage of the bespoke fitted office. There is also a downstairs cloakroom and a large utility room as well as the attractive double aspect kitchen and a raft of fitted units housing the gas hob and oven, a dishwasher, fridge and freezer which are all integrated.

Off the galleried light filled landing on the first floor there is a family bathroom with a spa sized corner bath and separate shower as well as five bedrooms including a double with an en-suite shower room and the main bedroom with a large en-suite bathroom incorporating both a bath and a separate shower. While on the second floor the bright and large hallway offers a reading space and access to a very large bedroom under a vaulted ceiling and a further second large double with an en-suite cloakroom. However, this floor would make an ideal ‘hideaway' for teenagers looking for their own space, the versatile and spacious rooms have been used through the years as a Cinema room, games room with a large pool table and presently is used as art studio, school room and guest room.

What the Owner says:
We have been really happy here but we now need to move back to the mainland for family reasons. We originally bought the house because it is in a private and convenient location but, at the same time, provides the feeling of being in the countryside with the woodland behind and the brook with its ducks that our daughter really enjoys watching. It is also a great house for entertaining and it has been wonderful to have plenty of space for our family and friends to visit. While the accommodation is ideal for a large family the house could also provide excellent facilities for anyone wanting to develop a bed and breakfast business.

The location is ideal as in many ways we have ‘the best of both worlds.' In one direction there are country walks including just a seven-minute walk to the castle. While in the other direction you can stroll to Newport in less than 15 minutes. The village of Carisbrooke is best known for its castle but it also includes a traditional pub, a café, an Italian restaurant and a few shops in the high street. There are also four schools including St Thomas primary school and Christ the King secondary school as well as a doctor's surgery.
