Situated in Newport on the Isle of Wight, this unique and characterful coach house is an inviting retreat that accommodates up to five guests across three bedrooms. Its prime location, close to the historic Carisbrooke Castle, adds to its charm, as it is believed to be the site where renowned artist JMW Turner painted a landscape of the castle. The exterior of the cottage is delightful, setting a picturesque scene that continues as you step inside, where a cobbled courtyard leads you to a spacious kitchen designed with white units that evoke a cozy country feel, ideal for preparing home-cooked meals with family or friends.
The interior of the property features a comfortable lounge area, highlighted by a large sofa that invites relaxation amidst heartwarming décor. Guests can enjoy a selection of books and games, making it a perfect space to unwind after a day of exploring. Ascend the stairs to discover three tranquil bedrooms, each adorned with a nautical theme and quirky accessories that foster a serene atmosphere for restful nights. The family bathroom, designed in an all-white suite, includes a shower cubicle, adding to the modern comforts of the home.
The enclosed garden offers a peaceful outdoor space complete with far-reaching views of Carisbrooke Castle and the surrounding landscape, providing an ideal spot for relaxation. Newport itself is a vibrant town featuring a shopping center, riverside walks, cafés, and a thriving arts center, along with a multiplex cinema, museums, and parks. Its central location on the island makes it an excellent base for touring, with convenient road links to various beaches, countryside, and other tourist attractions.
For those who enjoy scenic walks, the property is situated at one end of the picturesque Tennyson Way, which offers stunning views across the island. The area is steeped in history, with notable anecdotes such as Queen Victoria's daughter, Beatrice, visiting Clatterford House in 1927 and enjoying tea in the garden, which boasts spectacular vistas of Carisbrooke Castle and the Bowcombe Valley. This unique blend of history, comfort, and natural beauty makes the coach house a remarkable destination for a memorable getaway.
