Property Description
Situated in the heart of Newport village and very much a local landmark, is the historic, Grade II listed 'The Distaff'. This stunning character property has been lovingly and sympathetically renovated throughout by the current owners. They instantly fell in love with the character and history on offer as well as the huge potential it offered to restore it back to its former glory. Parts of the house date back to the 17th century and parts to the 16th century.
Situated on Belmont Hill, Newport's village road, the property is close to local shops, the local pub, The Coach and Horses pub, the Joyce Frankland Academy and importantly the train station with links to London. Few properties have a better location than this one! The village has a thriving community feel with many local organisations and social events too.
You enter the property via an impressive front door and reach the porch with space to hang coats and store shoes and boots. Straight ahead you'll find the huge kitchen / diner / family room which is one of the many highlights of this property, not least because of the amount of space on offer. This is very much the 'hub of the home' and a bright, airy space which is fantastic for entertaining. Doors lead straight out to the garden which is just fabulous on a sunny day. Next, you reach the dining room with its picture window, followed by the lounge which is once again incredibly spacious, oozing with character and is also complete with a stunning inglenook fireplace with a working log burner. Also on the ground floor you will find a study, utility room and downstairs claokroom too.
Upstairs are 5 double bedrooms, all of which are a great size and all double rooms. There are 3 bathrooms in total and two of which are en-suite – you'll never run out of bathrooms here! The master bedroom is a gorgeous room and features a unique walk in wardrobe (every lady's dream...Or men's of course) as well as extra storage cupboards. Bedroom 2 is incredibly unique with its 'platform' (see photo) which makes for a great area for a bed, play area or office space.
At the rear of the property is the garden which is split in to two sections. The part nearest the house is a large courtyard with an outside storage shed – this is just the place for a barbecue in the summer! Via a bridge over a small stream, you then reach the second half of the garden which is mainly laid to lawn and is a tranquil seating area. There is also a rear access from the back of the garden which leads to Bridge End where the property's driveway is situated plus further on street parking too.
