An enchanting home steeped with history and filled with an array of character features. Recently refurbished, the property has spacious rooms over three floors and a delightful walled garden to the rear, a perfect and peaceful suntrap, located in the centre of the Islands capital town.
Tucked away down a quiet side street in the island’s principal town of Newport, lies this exquisite, five bedroom, Georgian town house. Steeped in history, this stunning character property, has been painstakingly restored and maintained in recent years to very high standard.
Originally built in the 1700’s, this superb character property is arranged over three floors and simply oozes charm and style throughout, with original, exposed beams, original fireplaces and portholes providing just some of the features in this remarkable home. The front door is characteristic of the era, being slightly recessed and framed by gorgeous, ornate mouldings and gable roof. Enter into a spacious, central hallway, with original, wooden floorboards which runs directly to the rear door, with all rooms and stairwells branching off from.
At the front of the property is a good sized lounge with an original, corner fireplace, more gorgeous wooden flooring and exposed beams. Across the hallway is the lovely dining room, that has an impressive, exposed brick chimney housing a gas burning stove and a delightful altar rail adding yet more character to this home. The kitchen at the rear of the property is an ideal blend of functionality and style and is large enough to feasibly work as a kitchen diner if required. There’s also a handy cloakroom on the ground floor.
On the first floor the period features continue throughout the three, good sized double bedrooms here, with ornate fireplaces, sash windows and built in storage spaces. There’s a large, family bathroom, tastefully designed in a style that compliments the period, as well as a separate shower room.
On the second floor are a further two double rooms, and a further room that has the potential to adapt to a bathroom should it be required. The first floor bedrooms and stairs throughout benefit from new carpets and curtains in the last year.
Outside to the rear is a delightful, low maintenance garden that’s mostly paved, with various plants and shrubs and beautifully bordered with an exposed brick wall. There’s a lovely spot for dining alfresco as well as a brick-built garden room, ideal for enjoying the pretty garden in all weather or it could make a home office. To the front of the property is allocated residential permit parking for two vehicles.
