DESCRIPTION Emmett Hill House is a substantial 4-bedroom detached home oozing with character and period features.

Emmett Hill House is approached via a private driveway with ample parking to the front of the property.

Entering Emmett Hill House through the enclosed porch is the front door with eye catching stained glass features. This leads into the entrance hall with a W.C and under stairs cupboard. Off the entrance hall is the snug, featuring a stone fireplace fitted with a log burner, exposed timber beams and triple aspect views to the surrounding gardens. The formal lounge has exposed timber beams in the ceiling and considerable fireplace with a log burner and a large oak mantle. In one corner of the lounge is a bread oven dating back to circa 18th Century, providing a glimpse into the history of the property. Off the lounge is a conservatory with views across the land and opens to the garden.

The substantial kitchen benefits from a pantry and provides ample space for entertaining and cooking and leads through to the dining room. A utility room is positioned off the kitchen with plenty of space for appliances. The first-floor benefits from a large landing with a family bathroom and two single bedrooms. There are two substantial double bedrooms, both benefitting from en suite facilities.
 

SITUATION Emmett Hill House is set in a sheltered south facing position, giving the property a real sense of privacy and seclusion.

As soon as you enter the private driveway leading to Emmett Hill House, there are spectacular views towards the English Channel and The Needles.

The Isle of Wight is celebrated as an international yachting and sailing venue, with the annual Cowes Week Regatta in August attracting competitors from all over the world. A full range of yacht and sailing clubs provide a social hub. There are nearby golf courses including Westridge, St Georges & Shanklin and Sandown Golf Club.

Ryde School with Upper Chine is the main independent (HMC) School
on the Island, offering co-education from pre-school to sixth form on a daily, full or weekly boarding basis. Many Island children commute to mainland schools such as Portsmouth Grammar, St Edward's and Hordle Walhampton Prep and there are good feeder links to conveniently located public schools such as Winchester College and St Swithuns' in Winchester, Bryanston, Canford, and the Sherborne schools in Dorset and Malborough College in Wiltshire.

The Island is blessed with a number of boutique hotels and restaurants, including The George in Yarmouth, The Royal in Ventnor; The Hut (recently voted by GQ Magazine as the best experience 4 years running), North House and The Smoking Lobster.  

GARDENS AND GROUNDS The house is served by a private driveway lined with trees and shrubs and stunning views across the West Wight. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn and surrounded by trees providing shelter from prevailing winds. There is a flagstone courtyard off the conservatory, perfect for al fresco dining.

The farmhouse benefits from landscaped gardens that are well maintained.  

BUILDINGS There are several outbuildings situated off the driveway, currently used for a range of different purposes. The buildings include a detached modern block, within close proximity to the house which is partially used as a home office (with all services connected) including a W/C with adjoining garage with electric and concrete floor, large double timber shed with rear log store and tractor shed with concrete floor. All the buildings are connected to mains electric, some with private drainage, WIFI and water. 

LAND AND WOODLAND The property benefits from 4.1 acres of pasture and woodland including a large pond and a number of streams and brooks. The pasture supports wild flowers which are prime in the spring. The pastureland extending to just under 2 acres, includes a pole barn.
