Property description

Boasting a prime position on the peaceful outskirts of Newport, this beautifully presented three bedroom home offers the potential to create additional accommodation and comes complete with low-maintenance gardens as well as driveway parking.

This fantastic 1960s property has been well-maintained and vastly improved by the current owners of 11 years who have created a well-arranged and immaculate family home in this highly sought after area of Newport. Perfect for a growing family, the accommodation offers ample living space which has been reconfigured to provide a living room and a separate dining room, in addition to a sunny south-facing conservatory. Each of the three bedrooms provide a double size with fabulous views from the rear elevation, and a former first-floor cloakroom has been incorporated with the adjacent bathroom to create one sizable space. Benefitting from a replacement roof in 2013, the property boasts a range of other improvements over the years including the installation of a gas central heating system, solid wood internal doors, a replacement kitchen, and the decor has been refreshed throughout. Offering a fantastic opportunity for the new owners to create additional living accommodation or a self-contained annexe if required, the garage has been extended to the rear and the side elevation by the previous owners, and currently provides a workshop as well as a storage room. Externally, the rear garden has been redesigned to provide a low-maintenance outdoor space, and to the front elevation, a spacious driveway alongside a well-kept lawn area boasts off-road parking for up to four vehicles.

Offering a convenient family lifestyle, Chatfield Lodge is perfectly placed on the outskirts of Newport town centre offering a wide range of amenities including a variety of shops, a cinema complex, restaurants and cafes. Multiple schools at primary and secondary level are within walking distance and the Southern Vectis bus station is located within the town centre providing an extensive network of bus routes across the island. The property is also well-connected to the surrounding countryside and enjoys easy access to the riverside Red Squirrel cycleway and a historic amble up to the magnificent Carisbrooke Castle. Other top family attractions in Newport include the multi-award-winning Monkey Haven and the spectacular Robin Hill Country Park, both extremely popular with residents and visitors alike. Being centrally located means you are never far from all the wonderful delights that the island has to offer, including the beautiful West Wight with its unspoilt beaches and spectacular coastline.

Mainland travel links are located within a 20-minute drive from the property including the Wightlink car ferry from Fishbourne to Portsmouth, the Red Funnel car ferry from East Cowes to Southampton, and the high-speed Red Jet foot passenger service from Cowes to Southampton.

The generous, ground floor accommodation consists of an entrance porch opening to a hallway which continues to an additional porch to the rear providing a ground floor cloakroom and access to the rear garden. The entrance hall also leads to the kitchen and living room which both provide access to a dining room and beyond to the conservatory. Accessed externally via the rear garden, a workshop is located to the rear of the garage and a storage room is situated to the side which is accessed via a separate entrance from the driveway. Situated on the first floor of this substantial property are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
