Description
Hillside - A rare opportunity to acquire a secluded property of period origins on the rural outskirts of Gurnard, a short walk from the coastal path yet occupying a mature garden of about 1.5 acres. Believed to have originated from the 1850s as a pair of farm cottages the property benefits from a recent extension and has a great blend of historic character with modern comforts. Good quality outbuildings include an impressive architect designed chalet/ home office and an oak framed car port/ garage. There is also potential to extend into the roof space of the house with existing planning consent for dormer windows.
Hillside occupies a particularly attractive elevated position on a country lane with views over the gardens, surrounding countryside and towards The Solent, especially from the first floor. Gurnard, an easy walk or cycle ride, has an active sailing club, a popular waterside pub, a café and a late opening Convenience Store. The internationally renowned sailing centre of Cowes with its wide range of independent shops and restaurants along with frequent passenger ferry service to Southampton is about 2 miles away. The County Town of Newport with all the shopping and other facilities including the County Hospital are within a 15 minute drive time.
