4 bedroom detached bungalow for sale

Set amidst the tranquil countryside of the Isle of Wight, this enchanting Grade II listed three-bedroom detached residence offers a rare chance to own a piece of history. Formerly the gatehouse to Westover Manor, the property blends period charm with modern comforts and is set within approximately 7.36 acres of beautifully maintained grounds.

Originally a thatched cottage, the home has been sympathetically extended to include a spacious, light-filled hallway. Inside, the property features three generously sized double bedrooms, a dual-aspect sitting room with a wood-burning stove, and French doors leading to a private rear garden. The kitchen and dining area offer ample space and countryside views, while a well-appointed family bathroom serves the home.

The grounds are a standout feature, including gated road access, a nature pond, a detached timber garage, and extensive open space. Ideal for equestrian use, the property includes a modern stable block with four stalls, a tack room, and a machinery area. A large, two-storey barn currently functions as a separate living area with a wood burner, kitchen, shower room, and an open-plan upper room enjoying panoramic views of Mottistone Down. This barn offers potential for guest accommodation or a creative workspace, subject to consent.

Perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, the property offers direct access to a network of bridleways and footpaths. Despite its peaceful rural setting, it remains conveniently close to local amenities.

Offering a rare combination of historical character, extensive land, and versatile living space, this unique property is ideal as a forever family home, equestrian retreat, or a high-potential holiday let.

What the Owner says:
Living at Wheelbarrow has been a joy - there's nowhere quite like it. From the peaceful seclusion of the land to the bridlepaths on our doorstep that allowed us to roam West Wight from horseback, Wheelbarrow has offered us a rare kind of freedom.
