This spacious five-bedroom detached house, built in 2002, is arranged over three floors and suits a growing family seeking flexible living near Carisbrooke and Newport town centre. The ground floor offers a modern open-plan kitchen/diner, living room, study and convenient downstairs WC — practical spaces for everyday family life and home working. The second-floor bedroom provides a quiet retreat or guest/income option.
Outside is low-maintenance, paved rear garden and a wide block-paviour driveway providing off-street parking for at least three vehicles, plus a rear garage with light and power. Double glazing and gas central heating keep running costs reasonable, and the layout includes useful eaves storage and multiple external power/water points.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property is in a medium flood-risk area and sits in an area with above-average crime statistics. The cavity walls are recorded as having no insulation (assumed), which may affect heating efficiency and could be a retrofit consideration. Council tax is in a higher band and the wider area is classified as self-sufficient retirement, which may influence local demographics.
Overall this is a well-presented, versatile family home with strong parking and low-maintenance outdoor space. It will suit families wanting good local schools and quick access to Newport amenities, while buyers mindful of energy improvements, flood mitigation and local crime rates will want to factor those into their plans.
