About this property

Sitting on the outskirts of Carisbrooke, Isle of Wight is this thatched, detached cottage of 19 Clatterford Shute. Resting behind the iconic Carisbrooke Castle, this medieval cottage is a charming base for a family of eight's Isle of Wight break, with rustic beams and original features peppered throughout the accommodation. After leaving your vehicle in one of the three off-road spaces, progress inside to be welcomed by an entrance hall with half-vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. Make your way into the delightful living/dining room, where plush seating entices you to relax in front of the TV. If you'd prefer a little more privacy, be sure to settle down in the charming snug with a kindly provided book. When you're feeling peckish, proceed to the kitchen/diner, where an array of fantastic appliances are situated, including a marvellous AGA range. Rustle up delicious delights here, to be enjoyed at the space's dining table, at the living/dining room's table, or out on the patio in the landscaped garden. When sleep calls, choose one of the tastefully appointed bedrooms to enjoy a well-earned rest in, with one of these being ideal for a couple after a little privacy and comprising a king-size bed, vaulted ceilings and access to an en-suite shower room. Climb the wooden stairs to find three more delightful bedrooms, a twin room, along with a double bedroom and another bedroom with a day bed and pull-out bed, both of which enjoy Jack-and-Jill access to a superb bathroom with a freestanding bath. Those in the twin room can freshen up in the well-presented, ground-floor shower room; ideal for avoiding those morning queues. Concluding the property's interior is a handy utility room hosting laundry facilities, so you can keep your holiday wardrobe fresh during your break. Spend some time exploring the extensive garden, where an idyllic pond can be found, alongside two storage sheds; ideal for cycling enthusiasts who may need bike storage! Be sure to embark on a walk to Carisbrooke Castle, where events, a library and a fascinating museum can be found; continue into the village itself to locate all your amenities, including The Eight Bells pub, along with Carisbrooke Millpond and the charming Castle Street Ford. Travel a little further into Newport, a bustling town hosting the historic Newport Roman River, the plains of Seaclose Park and the intriguing Monkey Haven - Primate Rescue Centre. Spend some time on the coast in Cowes, where there is plenty to see and do, including putting at the Cowes Golf Course, touring the Sir Max Aitken Museum, exploring the sea front and boarding a ferry to Southampton. Why not venture to Ryde, Shanklin and Sandown for even more fun on the coast? For a memorable break in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, choose 19 Clatterford Shute.
