The Old Manse Barrack Shute | Niton | Isle of Wight | PO38 2BE
Step inside The Old Manse
A commanding double fronted character home which sits elevated in its large double plot. The property offers attractive gardens that envelope the home, and provides a large driveway and a large detached garage. The home is accessed via a pretty, columned gate-way set into the walled frontage, and a pathway leads up to the spacious entrance porch which has original style tiled floor and leads into the main entrance hall. The hallway is spacious with access off to the principal rooms on the ground floor. Both the lounge and sitting room are situated at the front of the home and boast high ceilings, attractive fireplaces and a lovely aspect from the large sash windows retained throughout the home. A large cloakroom with a separate area for housing coats and shoes is also located on the ground floor, perfect for family life. The dining room and kitchen are located at the rear of the house; the dining room is a lovely, light room which overlooks the side garden and offers ample space for largest of family dining tables. A rear lobby links this room and kitchen and also provides a rear door that leads out to the garden. The kitchen has been fitted with an abundance of cupboards and also retains a large walk-in-pantry, a lovely feature to this well-equipped space. The staircase sits centrally in the hall and is a beautiful feature of the large hallway provided with a lovely amount of natural light from the large rear window sited on the half landing. The first-floor landing is large and leads off to the five large bedrooms this home provides. Both the main bedroom and bedroom two sit at the front of the home and benefit again from the high ceilings and beautiful outlook across the village and the countryside beyond. The main bedroom has a shower cubicle and built-in wardrobes, though both bedrooms would be large enough to create en-suite facilities too if desired. Bedroom three is another spacious room with built-in storage, an attractive fireplace and a lovely outlook over the rear garden and bordering woodland. Bedrooms four and five have been created from one large room but both offer ample space as bedrooms, although the current owners utilise one as a great office. A family bathroom serves all of the first-floor rooms, with a handy separate cloakroom also on this floor. The gardens that surround the home have been mainly laid to lawn with various mature shrubs, small fruit trees and a greenhouse, ideal for children to enjoy or for a keen gardener to get creative. The large garage has an adjoining car port and work shed which is located at the side of the property well away from the main house. The village of Niton is very desirable, with its abundance of facilities, a lovely primary school, a superb village shop, surgery, library, village hall, two pubs within easy reach and coastal and countryside walks on your doorstep.
