Entrance hall, shower room, large reception room, kitchen/breakfast room, 3 bedrooms, bathroom, easily maintainable patio garden and parking.

The property is tucked away within a quiet, attractive location within the Conservation Area of Carisbrooke, situated in a small courtyard of converted farm buildings adjacent to Carisbrooke Church. This setting also benefits from the convenience of local shops being just a few minutes walk away, whilst the elevated position also provides views of Carisbrooke, Newport and some of the adjacent down land. The property forms part of a conversion of what is understood to be the largest brick barn on the Isle of Wight, which was subdivided into 4 separate dwellings. The barn was converted sympathetically in 2002, reusing original timbers to form the window sills and the beam above the fireplace and with solid wooden internal doors.
3. Double glazing was installed at this time together with a good degree of insulation, resulting in the property being very efficient to heat. The current vendors have maintained the property to a high standard and the house benefits from a particularly good sized reception room with an attractive brick fireplace. The kitchen, formed by an extension on the western side of the house provides a particularly light room with access to an outlook over the rear garden which is largely paved for ease of maintenance.
