Description

A superbly modernised period farmhouse with numerous barns and paddocks extending to 9 acres and set in an attractive rural setting

Chiddles Farm - Chiddles Farm occupies a particularly quiet, rural location within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, close to the small village of Alverstone with wonderful views over the surrounding countryside. There is excellent walking and riding within the vicinity as well as the cycle path between Newport and the coast that passes through Alverstone. There is good access to mainland ferry links and nearby coastline with its beaches and sailing clubs.

Originating from around 1871, the stone farmhouse has been subject to sympathetic modernisation with high quality fittings throughout making for a well organised country house. The farmhouse is not listed and benefits from modern comforts including double glazing, some underfloor heating along with a bespoke kitchen and bathrooms having been tastefully upgraded with Fired Earth fittings. The farmhouse is set in mature gardens and includes a heated swimming pool within a walled garden.

There is an extensive range of outbuildings and barns including a potential home office, stabling, workshop and storage. All have diverse appeal with some potential for conversion, subject to the necessary consents. In all, the property extends to approximately 9.2 acres including post and rail fenced paddocks and a manege.
