Castle Street, Carisbrooke

This gorgeous terraced cottage oozes charm and is tucked in a trapped-in-time little lane. Step outside the cottage and look up to the church one way and the idyllic ford at the other end of the lane with its path leading through to the castle. The cottage is surprisingly spacious with three double bedrooms - but be warned that the staircase up to attic bedroom 3 is not for the faint hearted! Parking is available on the lane or in the nearby council car park. We can't wait to show this unique house off! Freehold. Council Tax Band B. EPC D-55.

Properties in this idyllic lane come to market very rarely and this picture-postcard cottage has been in the same family for over forty years. Nestled in the heart of the historic village, only locals really know about this peaceful little community. The lane feels like a step back in time - especially with the ford at the end with a pathway leading up to Carisbrooke Castle. The carpenter of the family built the beautiful wooden windows of the cottage which is heated through Victorian style radiators. The accommodation is surprisingly spacious with a stained glass door from the porch into the handsome lounge; extended kitchen/dining room and bathroom with both a bath and shower. On the first floor are two double bedrooms, both with pleasant open outlooks. A gloriously quirky, steep and winding staircase leads up to a further double attic bedroom.
The house has a walled gravelled garden to the front and a pleasant, cottage-style garden to the rear. There are areas of brick paved terrace, lawn and borders stocked with a colourful variety of shrubs as well as two productive fruit trees. The cottage is offered chain free, is freehold, in council tax band B and has an EPC rating of D-55.
