Property description

Beautifully designed to offer a traditional period appearance, this well-maintained three-bedroom detached home is situated in the desirable Shide area with easy access to local amenities and offers a fabulous rear garden as well as a driveway to the front.

Built by the current owners in 2007, the construction of this unique property has been carefully considered to offer a characterful design with its black Tudor-style external beams and red brickwork repurposed from the period house that formerly occupied the plot. Presented to a high standard throughout, this beautiful home has been lovingly cared for over the years and has been freshly redecorated within the past six months. The classic interiors offer a versatile backdrop with neutral wall finishes which complement timber features and a combination of solid oak flooring, carpets and neutral floor tiles. Courtlands benefits from a generous kitchen-diner which provides the convenience of a utility room with a cloakroom, a spacious dual aspect living room, a study which could be utilised as a snug or a playroom, three double-sized bedrooms and a luxurious family bathroom flaunting a fabulous rolltop bath. The principal bedroom is a particularly generous size providing the potential to be adapted to accommodate an en-suite if required and a spacious loft could possibly be converted to provide additional accommodation to this already spacious home (subject to gaining necessary planning consent). Furthermore, the property boasts driveway parking for up to three vehicles on a smart block paved driveway to the front, and a wonderful fully enclosed rear garden comes complete with a timber-built workshop and a large patio with foundations in place to install a conservatory if desired.

With all the conveniences of Newport High Street within easy walking distance, Courtlands is perfectly placed on the outskirts of the 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 just a 15-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 arrangement of the accommodation comprises an entrance hall which leads to a family living room, a study and a kitchen-diner continuing to a utility room with a cloakroom. Located on the first floor, an impressive galleried landing creates access to three double bedrooms and a stunning family bathroom.
