A fabulous opportunity to acquire a Grade II listed end-of-terrace two-bedroom cottage in the heart of Newport, with a courtyard garden and a private off-street parking space.
Originally constructed in the late 1700s, 139 Pyle Street is a unique period cottage, filled with potential. The characterful façade, complete with chequered brickwork, sets the tone for the property, which comprises a kitchen and sitting room on the ground floor, a bedroom and shower room on the first floor, and a further bedroom on the top floor. Outside the cottage benefits from a courtyard garden and a rare town-centre parking space. The property offers potential to update, and retains period features such as the open fireplace in the living room and the ‘winder’ staircases that connect the three floors.
This home is set in the most convenient location in the principal town of Newport, perfectly positioned on a side street, close enough to enjoy the bustle of town centre living. The many services and amenities of Newport are right on the doorstep, including a wide range of shops, a cinema, restaurants and cafes, and the Southern Vectis bus station providing an extensive network of bus routes across the Island. The central location also provides easy access to mainland travel links, connecting to Southampton and Portsmouth.
