Park up on the street for free and step inside this home-from-home on the Isle of Wight, entering into the charming sitting room, furnished with a sofa bed to accommodate flexible sleeping arrangements, an armchair and a TV with Freeview. Pass the original fireplace, now painted over but still adding character to the cottage, which dates back to the mid-1800s, before heading into the kitchen/diner. Discover a fresh and bright setting within the kitchen/diner, with a sleek glass dining table and soft grey chairs to gather at, alongside all you need to cook up your favourite dishes, including a gas oven and hob, and a fridge/freezer. Take two steps up into the utility to find the handy washing machine, before taking another two steps up into the ground-floor bathroom, home to a bath and overhead shower. Delight in spending time out in your own private and enclosed garden, with seating for enjoying the sun on summer days, and bike storage near to the rear gate, perfect for leaving and entering on bike rides. Access the first floor via staircase, taking care to hold the handrail as the property's age means they are a little steeper than normal, and come upon the master bedroom to the left. Settle down in this lovely bedroom boasting a king-size bed, with a window overlooking the pretty street below, while the second bedroom has two 2'6" single beds, with a cloakroom situated on this floor for added convenience. Begin exploring the town on foot, taking a stroll down to the waterfront to admire the bobbing boats and views of The Solent, before choosing one of the many cafés or restaurants to dine in or browsing the local shops.
