Fairmount Drive, Newport

Boasting four double-sized bedrooms and a secluded rear garden, this spacious semi-detached family home is situated in a popular area on the fringes of Newport and comes complete with a driveway plus a large integral garage.

This charming 1970s property has been well-maintained and beautifully extended by the current owners of 29 years who have created a generous family home in this highly sought after area of Newport. Added in 2002, the extension alone provides two double bedrooms on the first floor, and a home office on the ground floor as well as an integral garage with a cloakroom, providing huge potential for additional accommodation or a self-contained annexe (subject to gaining necessary planning consent). Externally, the previously felted pitched roof has been improved with full tiling and a delightful rear garden has been created to provide an enclosed, secluded space featuring a generous decked terrace and a summer house as well as a storage shed. With a total of four double-sized bedrooms and a large lounge which flows to a kitchen-diner, 69 Fairmount Drive is perfect for a family looking for a spacious home with sociable open plan living spaces and a convenient lifestyle with plenty of amenities within easy reach.

The property is located less than a twenty-minute walk from Newport town centre which provides an array of shops and supermarkets, cafes, bars and restaurants. Just outside of the bustling town you can take a mindful stroll along the peaceful Medina Estuary which is a haven for plenty of local wildlife and plants, including wading birds such as the oystercatcher and redshank. Some of the island's top attractions are also nearby including a cinema, the multi-award-winning Monkey Haven, English Heritage's Carisbrooke Castle, and the popular Robin Hill Country Park. There is a good choice of schools close by at Primary and Secondary level including the Summerfield Primary School which is consistently rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. Frequent bus routes serve close by on Staplers Road and all island bus services connect in Newport town centre linking to other major towns of the Isle of Wight and their intermediate villages. Being centrally located means you're never far from all the wonderful things that our beautiful island has to offer.

The generous, ground floor accommodation consists of an entrance hall, a lounge which continues to an open plan kitchen-diner, and a study leading to an integral garage complete with a cloakroom. The first floor boasts four wonderful double bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom with a separate shower enclosure.
