5 bedroom detached house

As its name implies this property is one of a number of beautifully converted properties in an enclave of historical farm buildings nestling in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the hamlet of Bowcombe; a place even mentioned in the Doomsday Book. The property offers wonderful rural views and was originally converted in the early 1990s. It sits in generous grounds and includes the main house, a large detached building that is ideal for visiting family, guests or adult children and a separate building that is currently in use as a large double garage and workshop. This has been boarded out ready for conversion into additional living areas or offices, subject to the appropriate planning permissions. The property is set well back from the road and approached through an impressive brick pillared entrance and a block paved driveway flanked by a front lawn and shrub borders leading to the garage complex. There is a brick path and steps to the main house and the large detached building with its vintage staddle stones. Charming features continue as you walk into the dual aspect lounge and see the exposed beams and attractive brick fireplace with a log burning stove as well as French doors to the garden room and the kitchen/diner. While the exposed beams may continue through to the kitchen/diner, the kitchen design is more contemporary with a modern cooker inset into a brick recess and a raft of shaker style white units housing a fridge freezer and dishwasher as well as leaving space for a table and chairs. A stunning garden room spans virtually the whole width of the property and makes a superb summer sitting/dining room. It leads to a spacious decked terrace where you can enjoy al fresco dining while taking in the gorgeous countryside views. Upstairs there is a light and bright galleried landing that overlooks the front hall and has a partially vaulted ceiling with Velux windows and exposed beams. It leads to the family bathroom and four double bedrooms including two with vaulted ceilings and fitted cupboards and the main bedroom with its en suite shower room. The large outbuilding is a real charmer with a delightful open plan and vaulted ceiling living space, a spiral staircase to the mezzanine bedroom, a kitchen area and access to the shower room.

What the Owner says:
We have been delighted to live in this gorgeous family home for the past 29 years but we feel it is now time for us to downsize and pass the baton on to new owners.

Although we are out in the country it is only about a couple of miles to the famous Carisbrooke Castle and the outskirts of Newport and, being near the centre of the island, it is easy to get to the ferries, other towns and beaches. There are wonderful places to go for walks and cycling enthusiasts can enjoy mountain biking from the nearby Isle of Wight Mountain Bike Centre.

Newport is the county town of the Isle of Wight and includes a variety of high street stores and independent shops as well as wide selection of restaurants and bars. There is a weekly street market and a number of primary and secondary schools within the vicinity. It is not far from the Shide Nature Reserve while the Newport Golf Club is available for golfing enthusiasts. There are plenty of local attractions including a museum, a roman villa, the quay arts centre and Monkey Haven. A variety of annual events take place in the area including the world-famous Isle of Wight festival and other activities in Robin Hill Country Park.
