Description

Situated in a rural location on the outskirts of St Helens, this charming semi-detached cottage boasts three double bedrooms, two reception rooms, a large garden, and driveway parking with a car port.

Beautifully maintained over the 36 years of ownership, this beautiful stone cottage dates back to the early 1800’s and has been totally transformed by the current owners. The property was extended in the 1990’s, to create a spacious family home, and received an award for the sympathetic finish to the build in relation to the original 1800’s cottage. The property comprises a porch opening into a large entrance hall which provides access to the living room, dining room, and to the first floor via the stairwell. The dining room provides access to the kitchen and then to the cloakroom and storage area which also has access to the rear garden. The first floor comprises three double bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom. Outside, the mature garden is well established and offers a variety of plants, shrubs, trees and a large cabin, plus there is access to the driveway and carport, located at the front of the property.

Perfectly positioned for the seaside town of Ryde, and the villages of Brading and St Helens, 2 Hill Farm Cottages offers a convenient lifestyle, close to many enviable amenities, as well as an abundance of idyllic walking routes including the RSPB’s Brading Marshes. A short distance from the property is the island's highly regarded Oasis furniture store, plus a well-stocked farm shop tucked away next door offering a variety of freshly laid eggs, hand-picked fruit and vegetables, seasonal meats, and freshly caught crab and lobster! Just a few minutes drive from the property, the historic village of Brading is one of the oldest towns on the Island, with its famous iron bullring in the centre of the village, a village shop, and a good range of pubs and eateries as well as a local primary school. There is a train station located in the village which gives direct access to Ryde town providing mainland travel connections to Portsmouth, glorious sandy beaches, High Street amenities, and supermarkets including a Tesco Extra store located just a seven-minute drive from the cottage. Within a five-minute drive from the property is the quintessential village of St Helens with a village green, a post office, a coffee shop, and some great places to eat with popular restaurants, and a traditional village pub. St Helens is also home to the National Trust site, St Helens Duver, where you can explore wildlife, sand dunes, beautiful beaches with a fabulous beachside café, coastal woodlands, and Bembridge Harbour beyond.
