St Lawrence, Isle of Wight

A rare opportunity to acquire a complex comprising three holiday let cottages along with associated barns, yurts and paddocks in a spectacular south facing setting a short walk from Orchard Bay

Old Bank End Farm - This attractive range of period stone barns, converted approximately 20 years ago, provides three good quality holiday let cottages each with outside terraces. Adjacent buildings provide indoor play areas, entertaining spaces and storage and have further potential. In all, the property extends to approximately 2.55 acres and comprises a small paddock to the west where two yurts are situated along with a lower field including a mini golf course. The barns are subject to a holiday let planning restriction.

The property is situated in a fantastic coastal position with southerly views over the English Channel. A footpath runs along the western boundary of the property leading directly to nearby Orchard Bay, just a couple of minutes’ walk away, from where there is direct access to the coastal path which provides access to wonderful walks along the island’s southern coastline accessing various bays and coves. It is proposed that the separate private path which currently passes over land being retained by the vendors will cease to exist following the sale.

HOLIDAY LET COTTAGES

BEACHCOMBERS
A four-bedroom cottage with impressive DINNG HALL with access to an adjacent TERRACE, ideal for alfresco dining. The first-floor vaulted LIVING ROOM with distant southerly sea views features exposed timbers while FOUR BEDROOMS, TWO BATHROOMS, CLOAKROOM and KITCHEN complete the property.

YURTS
To the west of the barns are two yurts providing seasonal accommodation in an attractive setting surrounded by mature trees adjoining a paddock, from where sea views can be enjoyed. There is ample space for outdoor games together with a covered seating area. Each yurt benefits from its own shower room and kitchen facilities nearby. Canvas coverings on the yurts, which have successfully operated for around ten years, were replaced approximately 6 years ago.

OUTBUILDINGS

STONE BARN
Running along the northern side of the perimeter is a further attractive stone barn, comprising former calf pens. Whilst the roof is partially dilapidated, the building previously benefited from planning consent for conversion to an additional holiday accommodation unit. This provides further development potential subject to the necessary consents being renewed.

GAMES ROOM
A substantial games room measuring approximately 6.55m x 7m, incorporating attractive original stone walls and providing an excellent indoor recreational space, ideal for table tennis or similar leisure activity.

AGRICULTURAL BARN
To the west of the holiday let cottages is as a substantial agricultural barn with a concrete portal frame 12.3m x 17.8m adjacent to which is a lean-to STORE 14m x 5.6m beyond which is a further adjoining BARN 5.8m x 6m currently used as a further indoor play area.

THE LOOKOUT & INNER COURTYARD
Positioned at the southern end of the complex is THE LOOKOUT, a former stone barn now arranged as an open-air courtyard. With its southerly aspect, it provides a wonderful space for outdoor seating, dining and entertaining. At the heart of the buildings is a former farmyard now forming a courtyard, providing a haven for a variety of wildlife and offering further potential.
