Keats Vale, Gatcombe PO30

Welcome to 2 Keats Vale

Occupying a highly desirable position on the fringes of the exclusive Gatcombe Manor development, this beautifully designed home was constructed approximately a decade ago to a high specification and has been maintained impeccably ever since. Set within an idyllic green landscape, this well-kept residence offers both peace and privacy, while remaining conveniently placed for Newport, the Island's principal town. Deep windows draw in an abundance of natural light throughout, complemented by a fresh, neutral decorative scheme that runs through the entire property. With four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a spacious family lounge and a sociable kitchen-diner, this home suits a family in search of an outdoor lifestyle balanced with easy access to local amenities. The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, a downstairs cloakroom, a contemporary kitchen-diner and a generous lounge, together with internal access to the garage. Upstairs, four bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, with an en-suite shower room allocated to the primary bedroom. Outside, a delightful wrap-around garden provides a private, wildlife-friendly retreat with a rural outlook, while off-road parking is available in front of the garage, which could accommodate a further vehicle. The wider grounds of this well-established development offer residents peaceful woodland and expansive communal green spaces exclusively for their enjoyment.

Set in Gatcombe on the rural fringes of Newport, this fabulous home affords a wonderfully convenient lifestyle, with the town centre just a few minutes' drive away and offering an excellent range of shops, cafés, bars and restaurants amid handsome Georgian and Victorian architecture, at the heart of which sits Newport Minster. Some of the Island's finest attractions are close by too, including English Heritage's magnificent Carisbrooke Castle and the beautiful parkland of Robin Hill Country Park. Mainland travel is equally convenient, with car ferry links from Fishbourne to Portsmouth and East Cowes to Southampton just a twenty-minute drive away, and the Cowes to Southampton foot passenger catamaran service located a short distance further. A regular Southern Vectis number 6 bus service runs along Sandy Lane, with all other Island bus routes connecting at nearby Newport bus station.
