Appleford Lane, Whitwell, Isle of Wight

The charmingly named this property is a gorgeous detached and spacious modern two-bedroom bungalow that makes an ideal rural holiday home. It is set within more than 11 acres of organically maintained agricultural land surrounded by unspoilt countryside as far as the eye can see in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Included in the sale is a 75ft by 30ft agricultural barn that could be used for a variety of uses subject to the relevant planning permission being granted. The oak clad bungalow was built approximately six years ago and has been finished to a very high standard with triple glazed windows as well as oak flooring and solid oak doors. The property is approached via a quiet country lane through a pair of five bar gates leading to a gravel driveway and a large gravel frontage where you can park numerous vehicles, so is ideal if you are hosting a large party or want to house a caravan, motor home or horse box. Glazed doors open directly into the stunning dual aspect open plan living space with a vaulted ceiling, exposed cross beams and oak flooring as well as a log burning stove and French doors to the rear terrace. The superbly fitted kitchen/breakfast bar includes a double sink and has plenty of room for people to sit and enjoy their morning coffee while taking in the fantastic views. The kitchen units incorporate high end Neff appliances and a larder cupboard. There is a spacious boot room with a door to the rear terrace and access to the fitted utility room and a cloakroom. The two large double bedrooms both have French doors to the front garden and both offer stunning views to wake up to and large en-suite tiled bathrooms with underfloor heating, top quality sanitaryware including twin basins, baths and walk-in digital showers. Outside the delightful front terrace is ideal for those al fresco meals or just enjoying the sunshine and revelling in the views. There is also another terrace to the rear partially enclosed by a charming stone wall surrounded by raised beds, shrub borders and mature trees where you can revel in the stunning sunsets. As well as a spacious front garden with lawns and hedging there is a small orchard with apple, cherry, pear and plum trees. The fields have been organically farmed over the past 30 years so are in good shape as pasture for sheep and other animals or to provide hay, but could even be used for glamping or camping, subject to the relevant permissions.

What the Owner says:

This property would make a truly wonderful second home or high-end holiday let accommodation and offers amazing potential for the new owners to create a holiday venue and perhaps use the barn for a variety of purposes such as an exercise studio or craft centre. Even though we are in a rural location it is not far to Niton where you will find Joe's Bar that includes a café and the post office. There is also a pharmacy, convenience store and medical centre as well as a nursery and primary school and nearby is the excellent White Lion pub in Niton and the White Horse pub in Whitwell – which is the oldest pub on the Isle of Wight as the original building dates from 1454. Whitwell also includes a garage and a post office in the 700-year-old church bell tower and a village hall that hosts a variety of activities.

The property is restricted to being a holiday home or rented out as a high end holiday let, it cannot be a primary residence but it makes a wonderful retreat from the rigours of daily life. It is a haven for wildlife and you can relax and enjoy seeing the red squirrels, buzzards, woodpeckers and many other birds or just take a gentle stroll along the many places you can go for a walk in the local area.
