Description
This enchanting former gate lodge has been upgraded throughout, retaining its period character and with versatile accommodation, wraparound mature gardens, private parking and a garage.

Park Lodge is a fantastic period home, extended over the years and sympathetically updated by the current owners in an elegant style that perfectly complements the character of the building. Originally constructed in the mid-1800s as a gate lodge to the Fernhill Estate, the stone-built property now offers modern convenience with double glazing and gas central heating, and provides multiple configuration options to suit a new owners requirements. Accommodation comprises a welcoming entrance hall, a living room, a fabulous open-plan kitchen diner, a utility lobby, family bathroom, bedroom, and a snug, which could also be used as a fourth bedroom, on the ground floor, with two double bedrooms, one of which is ensuite, on the first-floor.

Popular Wootton Bridge offers an abundance of amenities including local stores that cater for food, wine and groceries, and there are some great places to eat. Nearby facilities include a primary school and a community centre, a well-maintained recreation and sports ground, as well as a health centre, pharmacist and a vet. This sought-after village is one of the most convenient locations on the Island with the county town of Newport situated just a ten-minute drive from the property and the popular seaside town of Ryde located just four miles to the east. A short walk along Station Road connects to the old steam railway line which provides a fabulous walking trail and connects with a further network of rural footpaths and trails providing almost unlimited possibilities for outdoor pursuits. Car ferry links can be found just a five-minute drive away at Fishbourne, with high-speed services operating from nearby Ryde.
