Description

LOT 1- PARSONAGE FARM This fine period farmhouse is Listed, Grade II and has been extended over time, retaining a range of characterful features but would now benefit from modernisation. The principal rooms face south and part of the farmhouse is alleged to feature in the Domesday Book and one of the beams is reputedly from a Galleon in the Armada. There are a good range of period outbuildings and barns that form an attractive courtyard to the south of the farmhouse and currently comprise a recently converted two bedroom holiday let, (with consent for a further 2 bedroomed unit), and with great further potential. The house sits in a mature garden and Lot 1 is offered with paddocks extending to approximately 10 acres. An additional 67 acres of water meadows, a lake and woodland is available as Lot 2 at a Guide Price of £275,000.

Set in a secluded rural position there are wonderful downland views from the property. The village of Newchurch has a well-regarded pub and primary school, whilst the cycle track leads to either the Coast or Newport. The popular Garlic Farm restaurant is close by, whilst the towns of Newport and Ryde are easily accessed providing for everyday needs, whilst mainland ferry links, beaches and sailing facilities are all within a 20 minute drive.
