We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Welcome to St. Kieran’s Constructed in 1924, St Kieran’s is a home of enduring character and quiet grandeur, set within an exceptional plot of approximately 3.25 acres.
Elevated within its grounds, the property enjoys far-reaching views across the Island and beyond, with glimpses stretching towards the Solent.
The house retains a wealth of original detailing, from its beautifully crafted stained glass entrance door to deep skirting boards, beautiful timber floors and generous proportions throughout.
While already a comfortable and well-loved home, there is potential for further enhancement or extension, subject to the necessary permissions.
The true distinction, however, lies in the setting - a rare combination of space, privacy and remarkable views, all within easy reach of local amenities.
St Kieran’s occupies an enviable position on the outskirts of Carisbrooke, where the landscape begins to open into rolling countryside.
Despite its peaceful and secluded feel, the property is exceptionally well placed for access to the village amenities, and the larger town of Newport is nearby, offering a comprehensive range of shops, schools, restaurants and everyday conveniences.
For those drawn to the outdoors, the location is outstanding.
The Tennyson Trail begins adjacent to the boundary, opening up miles of scenic walks and bridleways across the Island’s most celebrated landscapes.
The surrounding countryside provides an ever-changing backdrop, with sweeping views, woodland paths and open downland all within immediate reach.
EPC Rating: D The Approach Approached between enchanting brick pillars, with a block-paved driveway that gently rises through its grounds, St Kieran’s reveals itself with a sense of quiet presence.
The setting is immediately captivating - wide open skies, mature trees and a landscape that unfolds in every direction.
Porch And Entrance Hall The entrance porch provides a practical transition into the home, leading through the magnificent original stained glass front door into a welcoming entrance hall.
Here, the proportions of the house become immediately apparent, with high ceilings and traditional detailing throughout.
A cupboard provides useful coat storage, and the fabulous timber floors flow through into the ground floor accommodation.
Sitting Room A beautifully proportioned reception room with a bay window framing far-reaching views across the landscape, plus doors to the terrace.
A log burning stove set within a character fireplace creates a warm focal point, complemented by original floorboards and an abundance of natural light.
Dining Room Equally impressive, the dining room enjoys direct access to the terrace and gardens via glazed doors, creating a seamless connection between inside and out.
A second log burning stove enhances the atmosphere, making this a perfect space for both entertaining and everyday living.
Kitchen Positioned to overlook the gardens and land beyond, the kitchen offers a range of fitted units and a practical layout.
Large enough to accommodate a breakfast table, the kitchen also benefits from a large walk-in pantry which provides additional storage and functionality. A door connects to the garage.
First Floor Landing & Balcony A characterful turning staircase leads up to the first-floor landing, which also features access to a balcony - a wonderful vantage point from which to take in panoramic views stretching across a large proportion of the north of the Island with the Solent and Southampton Water in the distance.

A trio of fitted cupboards add useful storage.

Family Bathroom & Separate WC The bathroom features a suite including a heritage style rolltop bath and a vanity basin, plus there are useful fitted cupboards.
The bathroom is complemented by a separate WC, ideally positioned to serve the first floor accommodation. Garden The grounds of St Kieran’s are truly exceptional.
Extending to approximately 3.25 acres, they comprise a rich tapestry of gardens, a large open expanse with areas of wildflower meadow and bordered by established woodland.
A sheltered terrace with a pond sits close to the house, offering a tranquil setting for outdoor dining and relaxation.
A winding woodland pathway leads around the perimeter of the land, creating an enchanting walking route.
There is also a kitchen garden area, well-established fruit trees, poly-tunnel and additional outbuildings supporting a more self-sufficient lifestyle if desired.
Throughout the grounds, the views remain a constant presence - wide, uninterrupted and ever-changing with the seasons.
Parking - Garage Accessed via an up-an-over door, or internally from the kitchen, the substantial garage is well proportioned, with a window to the side aspect.
A door leads to a useful WC and there is also a door to the side aspect which connects to the garden.
