Description
Positioned within tranquil parkland, this upgraded three-bedroom ground-floor apartment forms part of the prestigious Gatcombe Manor, which is an idyllic, gated development situated in a rural location on the outskirts of Newport.

This stunning apartment is immaculately presented, having been upgraded throughout by the current owners to an exceptionally high standard. Contemporary updates have been sympathetically applied to the home, enriching the character while creating a fresh, elegant interior style with the added benefit of practical enhancements such as the addition of large, built-in storage cupboards. The property comprises an entrance hall leading through the apartment to three double bedrooms (one with an en-suite), the family bathroom, and the living-dining room which is semi open-plan with the kitchen. Set within extensive grounds, this historic development is surrounded by flourishing woodland and communal green spaces that provide the ultimate peaceful setting for residents to enjoy.

The location offers an enviable combination of tranquillity and convenience with Newport town centre just a few minutes’ drive away, offering an array of shops, cafes, bars, and restaurants exhibiting beautiful Georgian and Victorian architecture with the Newport Minster church in the centre. Some of the island’s top attractions are also nearby, including English Heritage's magnificent Carisbrooke Castle and the stunning parkland of Robin Hill Country Park. Regular car ferry travel links from Fishbourne to Portsmouth and East Cowes to Southampton are just a 20- minute drive away, and high-speed ferry links can be found at Cowes and Ryde. A frequent Southern Vectis number 6 bus service serves the bottom of Sandy Lane and all other Island bus services connect at the nearby Newport bus station.
