Step inside 3 Wootton Reach

Located in an elevated position, this superb contemporary detached Swedish style cedarclad family home has been designed to make the most of the stunning, panoramic scenery overlooking the Fishbourne Estuary and Wootton Creek with the living accommodation on the first floor and most of the bedrooms downstairs. The front of the first floor is almost entirely made up of bi-folding doors that open onto a full width balcony, providing even greater opportunities to enjoy the wonderful views. While each of the three double bedrooms on the ground floor have patio doors to yet another balcony so you can sit and enjoy your morning coffee or a nightcap revelling in the surrounding vista.

It is one of three modern properties built in 2008 nestling in a charming enclave and approached down Kite Hill to a driveway that leads to a double garage with an electric roller garage door and additional parking area for four cars as well as a lawn with a Japanese maple tree. You can appreciate how beautifully presented the house is from the moment you step into the spacious hall with Karndean flooring that leads to the family bathroom with a bath and separate shower and three double bedrooms. These include the main bedroom with new carpeting, fitted wardrobes and a trendy, recently installed en suite bathroom with a double corner bath. The second bedroom has fitted wardrobes while in the third bedroom there is floor to ceiling shelving, ideal for shoes and boots. A lobby, with a back door to the garden, includes laundry facilities and there is a cupboard housing a newly installed Vaillant combi boiler that incorporates an excellent drying area.

Off the galleried landing, glazed double doors lead into the spectacular light and bright family space on the first floor. With its laminate wood flooring, a veritable wall of double glazed bi-folding doors leading to the balcony and the stunning duck egg blue kitchen, it is awe-inspiring. The newly installed high-end kitchen with NEF appliances has a built in blue tooth speaker, a central island with a four ring induction hob and downdraft extractor and a raft of units housing a steam oven and combi microwave, a dishwasher and a freezer as well as a double sink and a small sink with a boiling water tap and hard wearing composite worktops. There is air conditioning and plenty of space for a large table and chairs, while you can cosy up to a new Charnwood log burner in the spacious seating area.

This floor also includes a cloakroom and two further rooms that could be additional bedrooms but are currently in use as a study and a fascinating double height snug with a vaulted ceiling and cedar wall panelling on three sides.

The very low maintenance garden includes artificial grass and a secluded decked area for sunbathing and another for entertaining and al fresco dining. They back onto a bank with trees and shrubs and a retaining gabion wall, topped with slate. There is also a log store and a purpose-built wooden workshop/storage shed, adjacent to the pedestrian entrance leading directly onto Kite Hill and the Coastal Path walk.

Seller Insight

We fell in love with this delightful house because of its location and the contemporary design that makes the most of the wonderful views. Also the fact that it is a large house but on a small plot so the garden area is simple to look after which makes it an ideal weekend and holiday home. The fact that we are extremely close to the ferry at Fishbourne means that commuting is easy and we can be in London door to door in about two hours. We are only moving because our requirements have changed but are still staying nearby on the island and we hope that new owners will enjoy everything we have done to enhance the property since we moved here and feel that all they need to do is install their furniture.

The nearby village of Wootton is a friendly community and includes local shops, a millpond, St Edmund’s church that dates from the 11th century and the 150-year-old Sloop Inn, as well as the steam railway station and the Fernhill Icehouse, which is all that remains of the Fernhill estate that was destroyed by fire in 1938. There is also the Lakeside Hotel and Spa and a farm shop and café nearby. The excellent Ryde School with Upper Chine independent school is also less than half a mile.

We are close to Ryde which is the largest town on the island. It is a delightful seaside resort with its vast range of independent shops, restaurants and bars and, unlike some other areas on the island, is a hive of activity all year round.

We are only just over four miles from Newport. This is the county town of the Isle of Wight and includes a variety of high street stores and independent shops as well as wide selection of restaurants and bars. There is a weekly street market and a farmers’ market and a number of primary and secondary schools within the vicinity. It is not far from the Shide Nature Reserve and the walks or cycle rides along the River Medina are a real pleasure while the Ryde and Newport Golf Clubs are available for golfing enthusiasts.

There are plenty of local attractions including a museum, a roman villa and the quay arts centre as well as the famous Carisbrooke Castle and Monkey Haven. A variety of annual events take place in the area including the world-famous Isle of Wight festival and the boutique Eclectica festival at Robin Hill.”*
