A completely renovated, three-bedroom mid-terrace home in a convenient location, finished to an exceptional standard throughout perfectly blending period charm and contemporary design.
Extensively renovated throughout by the current owners, 15 St Johns Road has been brought beautifully up to date with contemporary style and high quality, luxurious finishes, while retaining the characterful features of an original cottage. The addition of off-street parking for two cars to the rear of the property is an enviable feature, and other recent updates include a rewire, new gas central heating, damp proofing and freshly decorated throughout. The result is a welcoming and stylish home which benefits from the peace of mind of all upgrades being recently undertaken.
The property is just a short five-minute walk from Newport High Street which provides an array of shops and supermarkets, cafes, bars and restaurants, and a cinema. Just outside of the bustling town, a relaxing flat level walk all the way to Island Harbour can be enjoyed along the peaceful Medina Estuary which is a haven for plenty of local wildlife and plants. There is a good choice of schools close by at Primary and Secondary level, and all island bus services connect in Newport town centre linking to other major towns of the Island and intermediate villages. Being centrally located means you're never far from all the wonderful things that our beautiful Island has to offer, including the magnificent West Wight with its unspoilt beaches and rugged coastline.
The surprisingly spacious accommodation comprises a welcoming entrance hall, lounge, dining room, kitchen, utility and cloakroom on the ground floor, with a long landing leading to three bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor.
