Features and description

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • Beautifully extended detached family house
  • Superb open country views
  • Established holiday let in separate one bedroom annex
  • Set in an acre of land with mature wrap around gardens
  • Large modern open plan kitchen and breakfast area
  • Flexible living accommodation with dual first floor access
This gorgeous, five-bedroom farmhouse was originally built in 1890, with a large, two storey extension added one hundred years later. Subsequently, it offers flexible accommodation with the option to either have one large dwelling or two separate homes, and the latter option is providing the current owners ideal multi-generational living using the original part of the house for independent family members. Additionally, this property comes with a separate, one bedroom bungalow, again providing the opportunity for an income, due to its successful, established holiday letting business. Approached via a long, private driveway that wraps around the property, this beautiful home is ideally situated in the heart of the countryside and is surrounded by rolling fields. The impressive entrance hall boasts a gorgeous, oak staircase leading to an open galleried landing. The sizeable sitting room is filled with light from the triple aspect windows and sliding patio doors at the far end that lead directly to a large conservatory. There's a formal dining room across the central hallway, although there is another spacious dining area as part of the open plan kitchen diner. The kitchen itself is a fabulous, recent addition which includes all integrated appliances and is finished to a very high standard. Additionally, there's a separate utility area just off the kitchen and a convenient, ground floor shower room. On the first floor the principal bedroom has dual aspect windows affording spectacular, unspoilt views of the countryside, and boasts a large ensuite shower room that includes several built-in wardrobes, suggesting it would make a good dressing room as well. The property is set within an acre of land, with seemingly endless rolling fields beyond, with the beautiful main garden at the front that wraps around to the rear. There's a large shed with double glazing that would make a lovely garden room, as well as further outside storage sheds and a laundry room. The separate annex is located at the rear of the property and briefly comprises of an open plan kitchen / living area, one double bedroom and ensuite shower room, plus an enclosed rear garden and decking at the front. The annex is beautifully presented with modern fittings and enjoys equally delightful views as are seen from the main house, looking over open fields and the rolling hills beyond.

What the Owner says:
We bought this house seventeen years ago because of its idyllic location in such a beautiful, quiet and tranquil setting. The home itself has always felt welcoming and comfortable, and our holidaying guests for the past fourteen years can attest to this.

The location of the property albeit rural, is located equidistant between the well-appointed villages of both Niton and Rookley, which both provide an array of amenities, to include doctors surgeries, pharmacy and well stocked village stores.
