Description

This quaint character cottage dating back to the 1700's is located on the fringe of an area of outstanding natural beauty with open fields and rolling hills enveloping the property. The home has benefitted from various extensions over its lifetime, creating spacious ground floor accommodation, with versatile use and two bedrooms to the first floor, enjoying rural views. On entering the home through its pitched roof front porch, this leads into a delightful sitting room with an open fireplace, exposed stone work and deep sill cottage window overlooking the front garden. From here an original latch door leads into a large lobby area, which could serve as a perfect library or quiet sitting area. Adjacent to this is a modern white bathroom, ideal should a new owner require ground floor bedrooms. A small study leads off the other side of the lobby, and a triple aspect dining room, fitted with attractive stained glass windows provides extensive natural light. This room has doors leading out to the garden and also through to the spacious conservatory with its tiled flooring. A large utility room allows a wealth of space for utilities and could be created into a superb kitchen diner for new owners, subject to planning permission and requirements. Separating the current kitchen from the large utility room is another large ground floor room, used originally as a home office, but with potential as a double bedroom if required. The kitchen has an array of fitted cupboards with space for a freestanding cooker, under counter fridge and dishwasher. The first-floor accommodation comprises two bedrooms, one of which is a spacious double with lots of fitted wardrobes and drawer units, as well as the addition of an over stairs cupboard. This bedroom enjoys a dual aspect overlooking the surrounding countryside. The second bedroom is currently laid out as a single bedroom, due to the extensive fitted wardrobes. At the rear of the property is a detached outbuilding which has been fitted with both a shower cubicle and separate toilet, as well as fitted wardrobes, a superb additional annex space if required. The cottages formal gardens wrap around the property, to the front, side and rear, with a selection of sheds and additional outbuildings, an above ground pool and a hot tub, which could be available under separate negotiation.

What the Owner says:


We have lived in this property for over forty years – which is a testament to what a happy and comfortable home this property is.

We always felt that this cottage was and remains a great haven away from the hustle and bustle of chaotic normality but although nestling in the countryside, has the added bonus of being only a ten minute drive to Shanklin or Ventnor and is only just 15 minutes away from Newport. So, for us very central as well as being ‘away from it all'.

The children called this property a Tardis as it has so many rooms, entrances and exits.

We had many lovely summers in the very sunny and happy cottage, and we will really miss living in such a wonderful cottage full of warmth.
