Brighstone, Isle of Wight

A delightful Grade II Listed cottage, formerly part of Brighstone Mill and tucked away in a desirable spot on the southerly village outskirts.

Millers Cottage was re-built around 30 years ago by well regarded local builders J R Buckett & Son as part of the conversion of Brighstone Mill and has some lovely touches which still gives it a cottage feel from latched panel doors, some exposed brickwork to partially sloping ceilings to the first floor with dormer windows. Located to one end of the original mill, the cottage is bordered by a pretty stream which flows down to the coast at Grange Chine. The accommodation provides good sized and partly open plan living space to the ground floor with both dining and sitting room areas adjoined by a functional kitchen. The sitting room features an impressive fireplace with fitted wood burning stove as well as a large bow window overlooking the garden. A cloakroom completes the ground floor space. To the first floor there are two double bedrooms, both with built-in bespoke storage and a well appointed shower room. There is double glazing to the windows and an oil fired central heating system warming the accommodation. Outside, the gardens are a particularly lovely feature to the cottage and have been carefully planted and landscaped to maximise privacy and enjoys the benefit of good off road parking for a number of cars.

Location - Situated in a particularly attractive and characterful area of the village, adjoining a number of listed buildings, Millers Cottage is a few minutes walk of the shops and amenities which can be accessed by road or via a pretty public footpath to the rear of Brighstone Mill. The village centre facilities include a public house, newsagent/coffee shop, general store/post office, doctors surgery with dispensary, local community library, hairdressers, primary school and two churches. Also the local beach in Grange Chine is within half a mile along with further local footpaths and bridleways giving access to miles of downland and coastal walks, making this cottage a very appealing home.

The rear garden is bordered by a pretty stream and beautifully landscaped with pathways meandering through well established and thoughtfully stocked flower/shrub beds with an abundance of plants providing colour throughout the year. Care has been taken to minimise maintenance once again with the use of various textures and hard landscaping such as gravel and smooth pebbles and Indian Sandstone paving to a couple of patio areas as well as steps down to the stream. A wonderful elevated timber deck terrace provides a fabulous place for entertaining or to just sit and relax whilst enjoying the outlook over the garden. A useful summer house with adjacent log store makes an ideal hideaway and provides good outside storage too.
