This elevated three-bedroom detached bungalow offers rare panoramic views across Newport to Carisbrooke Castle and sits within easy walking distance of the town centre. The double garage, off-street drive and very large plot provide useful storage, parking and scope for garden or ancillary works. For a buyer seeking a quieter, single-storey home with strong outdoor space, the setting is a key draw.
Internally the home is compact (approximately 571 sq ft) and arranged in a traditional bungalow layout. A contemporary kitchen with modern cabinetry and a light-filled living area take advantage of the outlook. Accommodation includes three bedrooms and a single shower room, suited to downsizers, small families or those wanting ground-floor living.
There are important practical considerations to note: the property is on solid brick walls with no known cavity insulation and primary heating is by electric room heaters, so heating costs and thermal comfort may be higher than average. The construction date is pre-1900, which can indicate older services and maintenance needs. The area scores as deprived with a high local crime rate, which may affect resale or rental prospects for some buyers.
Overall this freehold bungalow offers outstanding views, significant external space and parking, and immediate potential for cosmetic improvement or targeted insulation and heating upgrades. It will suit a buyer who values the location and garden/garage facilities and is prepared to address the property’s energy and maintenance shortcomings.
