Watergate Road, Newport, Isle of WIght

A light and spacious Arts & Crafts home, set in a quiet yet highly convenient position on the outskirts of Newport, with annexe, ample parking and far-reaching countryside views

Windy Ridge - Built in 1926, this family home has only exchanged owners a few times, testament to its comfort and versatility. The property is set in good grounds, in an elevated position designed to make the most of its setting, with far-reaching, panoramic, countryside views from St Georges Down to Bowcombe Down and over the rolling hills home to the Deer Park.

The property is of generous proportions and has been well-maintained, now benefitting from double glazing a modern kitchen, as well as a recently installed boiler. Culminating in comfortable living with wonderful views.

The property occupies a particularly convenient location, not only for the amenities of nearby Newport, but easy access to all parts of the Island, as well as mainland ferry links and onward connections. Close to the countryside, there are many good country walks accessible directly from the property, as well as the Red Squirrel trail popular with cyclists and runners, trailing through the countryside from Cowes to Sandown.
