Gaggerhill Lane, Brighstone, Newport

Set within the sought-after village of Brighstone is a rare opportunity to acquire two semi-detached country cottages occupying an elevated position, with landscaped gardens, countryside views, outbuildings, and off-road parking, in all extending to approximately 0.32 acres (0.13ha).

Position - Mercott and Warracote are set in a raised location adjacent to a country lane in Brighstone, a popular village in the south-west of the Isle of Wight, a short drive from the beach at Buddle Brook and within the Isle of Wight National Landscape (IOWNL). The village benefits from a shop, hairdresser and a pub. The nearby bustling harbour town of Yarmouth offers a range of eateries, yacht club, shops and ferry link to the mainland.

The Property - The original period cottage (Mercott) was built of stone and brick with a terracotta clay tiled roof. Now a pretty white cottage with lots of charm and cosy rooms, original fireplaces and casement windows with added double glazing. The gardens have been beautifully landscaped and there are mature hedges and shrubs which provide privacy from the next-door property. Mercott is attached to ’Warracote’, a cottage which was built later, and has a slightly larger footprint than Mercott. There is off-road parking and a garage and direct access to this from the lane. Steps and a gate lead up from the parking to the garden and a path on one side of the garden leads to the property.
