A striking and highly versatile detached home, Shalom combines far-reaching countryside, sea and mainland views with generous family accommodation arranged across three impressive levels. With beautifully presented interiors, adaptable lower-ground-floor living space, superb gardens and extensive parking, this is a home that offers space, flexibility and an outlook that is truly hard to match.
Occupying an elevated position on the western outskirts of Carisbrooke, Shalom is an individual detached home offering generously proportioned, and highly versatile accommodation arranged across three levels.
The property’s defining feature is undoubtedly its remarkable outlook. Large picture windows have been thoughtfully positioned to take full advantage of the sweeping views across the surrounding countryside, with glimpses of the sea, the mainland coastline and the Spinnaker Tower visible from many rooms. The elevated first-floor accommodation enjoys an even more impressive perspective.
At the heart of the home is a superb open-plan kitchen, dining and breakfast room extending to more than 27 feet. This bright, sociable space is complemented by a substantial triple-aspect living room, while a fourth bedroom with its own en-suite shower room provides excellent flexibility for guests, multigenerational living or home working.
The lower ground floor has been extensively renovated to create an additional studio-style living area with a kitchenette, separate bedroom and cloakroom. With direct access to the garden, this level offers tremendous potential for independent annexe-style accommodation, subject to any necessary consents and the completion of shower facilities.
Outside, the gardens have been arranged across two principal levels and provide a variety of attractive places in which to relax, entertain and enjoy the wonderful setting. A substantial gravel driveway provides parking for several vehicles, while the garage has been divided to create workshop and gym areas.
Entrance Porch
A covered and decked entrance porch provides an attractive approach to the property. A painted timber front door with a complementary glazed side panel opens into the entrance hall.

The lower level is principally laid to lawn and includes a separate recreational area with decking, gravel and grass. A timber pergola structure adds interest and gives this section of the garden an appealing coastal character.
There is also an enclosed area with the necessary fittings for a hot tub.

Location
Shalom occupies an elevated position on the western edge of Carisbrooke, combining a semi-rural outlook with convenient access to both the village and central Newport. The setting is particularly appealing for those seeking countryside views and a sense of openness without becoming isolated from everyday amenities.
Carisbrooke offers a range of useful facilities, including local shops, places to eat and drink, schools, a medical practice and veterinary services. The historic village is perhaps best known for Carisbrooke Castle and provides ready access to scenic countryside walks.
Newport, the Island’s principal shopping and commercial centre, is a short drive away and offers supermarkets, high-street shops, cafés, restaurants, leisure facilities and the Island’s central bus station. Bus stops are also positioned within a few hundred metres of the postcode, while nearby primary and secondary schooling adds to the convenience for families.
Summary
Shalom is a highly individual and wonderfully versatile family home that makes exceptional use of its elevated position.
The combination of panoramic views, a magnificent kitchen and entertaining space, flexible bedroom accommodation, renovated lower-ground-floor rooms, attractive gardens and generous parking creates a property with broad appeal. It is equally well suited to conventional family life, multigenerational living, home working or those seeking dedicated guest and recreational spaces.
Properties offering this degree of adaptability alongside such a memorable outlook are rarely available, and viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate both the accommodation and setting.
