This charming character cottage, tucked away down a quiet lane in the breathtaking western tip of the island is set within vast grounds and packed with original features throughout.

The living areas comprise a traditional style kitchen with a gorgeous Aga as well as a conventional oven and hob for convenience. There is plenty of space for a dining area here, however, leading directly off the kitchen is a really good-sized dining room - a lovely, light space created by dual aspect windows and French doors - that boasts many delightful original features including the fireplace and exposed wooden beams.

Continuing on from there is the spacious lounge that has a really special, Russian style hearth, and is another light room with numerous windows and access to the sweetest sheltered courtyard garden/patio.

Leading off the lounge is the snug, which would make an excellent study, or indeed a dressing room for the adjoining double bedroom and bathroom. At the opposite end of the ground floor is another double bedroom with its own adjoining shower room, as well as a handy utility room. And if all that isn't enough, there's a lovely garden room where you can sit and admire the garden all year round.

To the first floor are a further two double bedrooms – the main bedroom being of exceptional size – both of which enjoy the use of a huge bathroom.

Outside, this gorgeous property is surrounded by large gardens mostly laid to lawn and benefits from private access down a long driveway, with parking for numerous vehicles, leading to a garage and outbuilding.

 
Please refer to the footnote regarding the services and appliances.

What the Owner says:
This property is ideally situated within beautiful countryside and yet is only a stone's throw away from all the conveniences and entertainment on offer in Totland and Freshwater. In Totland you have the Captain's Cabin café right on the beach, and The Waterfront bar and restaurant that serves delicious, locally caught seafood with incredible sea views. In the village centre are a couple of great takeaways as well as a Costcutters for all the essentials.

For a wider selection of groceries, pubs and restaurants you have Freshwater just a mile down the road that is bursting with activity whilst still maintaining its old-world charm. Theres also the popular Freshwater C of E primary school, as well as a GP surgery and a couple of pharmacies. Additionally, there is a community run, free daily bus service connecting Freshwater, Yarmouth and Totland that also offers shopping trips twice a month to Newport and East Cowes, as well as personal door to door transport for medical appointments.

Furthermore, within easy walking distance you are spoilt for choice of beaches, with the spectacular Freshwater, Colewell and Totland Bays. And there are countless country walks in the area, but none quite as impressive as Tennyson Down - named after the famous, local poet Alfred Lord Tennyson – which affords some the best views of the island.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on February 3, 2022

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on February 3, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
