Set in a quiet, convenient location near to village amenities and mainland travel links, this attractive three-bedroom family home benefits from versatile living spaces throughout as well as an enclosed rear garden and private driveway parking.

Originally constructed in 1864, this charming period home has been updated, maintained and beautifully presented by the current owners of nearly 40 years including the recent installation of sash and tilt/turn UPVC double glazed windows, elegant neutral décor throughout and the addition of a heated swimming pool to the rear garden (which could be removed by the vendors if preferred). The property benefits from well-arranged accommodation with a flexible, versatile layout which could be configured in a number of different ways to suit a new owner.

Wootton Bridge offers an abundance of amenities including local stores that cater for food, wine and groceries, and there are some great places to eat featuring a well-renowned fish and chip shop. Nearby facilities include a primary school and a community centre, a well-maintained recreation and sports ground, as well as a health centre, pharmacist and vet. Rural and creek walks are also on the doorstep, as well as a host of outdoor pursuits. Wootton Bridge is one of the most convenient locations on the Island with the county town of Newport situated just a fifteen-minute drive from the property and the popular seaside town of Ryde located just under four miles East, in the opposite direction. Therefore, it has good connectivity to the many facilities and amenities offered in each town which include wonderful eateries, independent shops, beautiful sandy beaches, Island wide travel links, cinemas and community theatres. The location is within close proximity to travel links, with a regular bus route serving Wootton High Street and a mainland car ferry service from Fishbourne as well as East Cowes are both under a ten-minute drive away.
