5 bedroom detached house

Nestled in rolling countryside with far reaching views this substantial period family home offers well-appointed accommodation with beautiful gardens and an adjacent paddock in a rural yet convenient location.

Constructed in the 1920s, Green Meadow is uniquely situated overlooking the island steam railway line and former Ashey station and surrounded by beautiful countryside toward Ashey sea mark, where there are fabulous walks directly from the property. The accommodation is spacious with recently refurbished elements including a boot room/hallway entrance and architect designed garden room, which along with all principal rooms take in the wonderful views. There are five bedrooms and plenty of reception space with impressive sitting and dining rooms, while a raised terrace wraps around the house and looks over the garden.
