Occupying a spacious garden plot, Brooklyn House is a magnificent five bedroom family home with plenty of versatile living space and the addition of a ground floor one-bedroom annex, offering the ideal home for a multigenerational household or those seeking a letting income source from the comfort of their own home. Beautifully presented and well-maintained by the current owners, the property exudes the typical period character one would expect from a property of this era with its voluminous coved ceilings incorporating elaborate archways and ceiling roses, a grand turning staircase, traditional panel doors, decorative wall mouldings, and impressive fireplaces.
Upon stepping through a substantial period entrance door, the hall instantly provides a sense of grandeur and leads to three spacious reception rooms offering plenty of versatility to be used for relaxing, entertaining, or working from home. A sociable kitchen-breakfast room features a fabulous Aga and a multi-use kitchen island, and there is an elegant ground floor cloakroom providing convenience for guests and family.
On the first first floor, the spacious proportions and traditional elegance continue onto the landing and into four double-sized bedrooms, with two enjoying the luxury of en-suite shower rooms. The first floor is also served by a main family bathroom featuring a fabulous claw-foot bath, and there is an additional small bedroom which could equally be utilised as a home study or dressing room.
Accessed via the entrance hall or an independent entrance door from the front of the home, the self-contained ground floor annex comprises a naturally light open plan living space with a kitchen, and a double bedroom with an en-suite shower room; all of which are beautifully presented with modern interiors.
Outside, beautifully maintained lawned gardens to the front and rear offer a generous outdoor environment and plenty of space for family playtime, al freso dining on the decked terrace, and lounging in the sunshine. Beyond the rear garden, there is a double garage with a driveway providing that all-important private parking for up to four vehicles.
Brooklyn House is just a five-minute walk away from the town centre of Newport which offers a wide range of shops, a cinema, restaurants, and cafes, and the Southern Vectis bus station provides an extensive network of bus routes across the island. Some of the island‘s top family attractions are also nearby including the multi-award-winning Monkey Haven and the popular Robin Hill Country Park. Located just north-east of the historic village of Carisbrooke and its famous castle, the property is also perfectly placed to take advantage of Carisbrookes convenience store, health centre, pharmacy and eateries as well as being just a stone‘s throw from larger supermarkets nearby in Newport. Being centrally located means you are never far from all the wonderful delights that the island has to offer, including the beautiful West Wight. Additionally, car ferry travel links from Fishbourne to Portsmouth and East Cowes to Southampton can both be reached within a 20-minute drive, and the Cowes to Southampton catamaran foot passenger service is located only 5.7 miles away.
