Once the original farmhouse, built from island stone with parts dating back to the early 1880's, this gorgeous, four bedroom character property was completely renovated and partially rebuilt by the current owners, transforming it into the wonderful example of contemporary living meets old world charm it is today. Accessed via a private lane away from the main road, this delightful farmhouse is set within a generous plot and surrounded by spectacular countryside. Enter via the beautiful, stone, gable-roofed porch into a welcoming, entrance hall and through into the front sitting room, where you'll find plenty of natural light from the dual aspect windows and views across the grounds. Remaining at the front, across the hallway is the formal dining room with an attractive fireplace and also boasting dual aspect windows. Conveniently adjacent and with direct access from the dining room is the large kitchen diner. Here we have all the necessary accoutrements one would expect to find in a contemporary kitchen, including a built-in oven, microwave, gas hob and integrated appliances, however, the star of the show is undoubtedly the sumptuous, oil-fuelled aga. The spacious kitchen also allows ample space for a breakfast table. There's external access from the dining area via an attractive stable door that takes you along a pretty path to the driveway. Towards the rear of the property is a flexible room, currently used as a study as well as a handy utility room and cloakroom. To the first floor are four well-proportioned double bedrooms, with the principle benefitting from a sizeable ensuite bathroom boasting a bathtub as well as separate double shower enclosure. The second bedroom enjoys its own dressing room complete with a sink, indicating the potential to fit an ensuite here with relative ease. The remaining bedrooms share a huge, contemporary family bathroom with a luxurious, freestanding bathtub, as well as double sized shower cubicle.
Outside to the side is a spacious driveway with ample parking for numerous vehicles, bordered by a pretty, low level wall. In addition, the home also has a large detached garage. The gardens range from the vast, open lawn at the front that's interspersed with beautiful swathes of flowerbeds, to the south facing paved terrace with timber pergola overhead, to a treelined wilderness on the outskirts; they are all simply stunning. Of course, beyond the garden are absolutely breathtaking views of countryside.
What the Owner says:
We immediately fell in love with this house back in 1988 and despite its dilapidated state back then pre conversion, we could see its potential to be a wonderful family home. Over the course of the following year we took on the project and completely renovated and rebuilt the interior of the house, keeping it sympathetic to its original build era.
The location is absolutely ideal, striking the perfect balance between being in a tranquil, rural setting, but with the convenience of being only a few minutes from Shorwell and a brilliant convenience shop in Brighstone. We are also right on several bridle paths affording numerous walks across some of the most spectacular countryside the island has to offer. We have raised our children here and created some wonderful memories, however it is now time for a new generation to enjoy its many virtues.
Adjacent to the property is a 2 acre paddock, which is available under separate negotiation.
