The Acorns
Located in a popular semi-rural area on the fringe of Newport , the home is ideally positioned to offer easy access to both the extensive amenities locally and the open countryside it borders. Newport centre has a variety of high street stores, various independent outlets as well as a wide selection of restaurants and bars. The Shide Nature Reserve is in close proximity to the home with beautiful walks to be enjoyed on the popular Red Squirrel Trail which runs from Cowes to Sandown. For purchasers seeking a central location with easy access to the whole Island, this property is perfectly positioned.
Due to the topography of the area, the house is much larger and more secluded than it appears from the front, with a stunning open plan lower ground floor that has two sets of bi-fold doors providing an abundance of light and allowing access to the rear garden. This attractive triple aspect living space is the heart of this stunning home and leading to the extensive Indian sandstone terrace, makes for a fabulous entertaining space in the spring and summer months allowing the indoor and outdoor space flow into one another. The home is approached via a low maintenance tarmac drive providing plenty of off-road parking and a paved pathway to the front door. The entrance hall is vast and has an attractive oak staircase leading to both the first floor and the lower ground floor and offers access to all the rooms on this level including the attractive sitting/cinema room with its modern raised wood burning stove and superb master bedroom suite.
The home has a large rear garden with a separate brick outbuilding, which has been recently refurbished and fitted with double glazed French doors and windows, as well as power and lighting, currently utilised as a home gym. It has multi-purpose use potential such as a home office and subject to the necessary permissions, an annex.

OUTSIDE
The front of the property has a large, tarmacked driveway with space for numerous vehicles. From here an attractive pathway leads to the front door with bordering well-stocked shrub beds. A wrought iron fence frames the sunken terrace with steps leading down to this private seating area. There is an additional gated pathway leading down past the southern elevation of the home giving access to the rear garden.
At the rear of the property there is a large Indian sandstone patio which provides ample room for entertaining directly beyond the large open plan living area on the lower ground floor. The patio links to a BRICK OUTBUILDING which has been fitted with power and lighting, and is currently utilised as a home gym. Adjacent to the brick outbuilding there is a ‘secret’ garden perfect for privacy and enjoying the sun on the hidden composite deck. This area was specifically fenced off as a private garden, with a view to converting the outbuilding as extra accommodation giving any occupant their own private outdoor area.
Whilst there is ample parking on the front driveway, this property also benefits from an additional driveway to the rear. It can be accessed from a private road leading off Watergate Road through electric gates on to a gravel driveway, where these is also a large, neatly presented area of hardstanding for parking. The access to the rear driveway is granted to the vendors by licence and new owners would have to apply for the same from the IW Council, which can be agreed before Exchange of Contracts.
