DESCRIPTION A rare opportunity to purchase a partly converted 2-bedroom stone barn, with considerable scope for extending set within about 5 acres of land including a number of outbuildings and sand school. The property enjoys wonderful rural views across The Downs and adjoining farmland 

SITUATION The property is located on the outskirts of a quintessentially English village of Godshill with a historic Church in view on the hill, thatched cottages, traditional pubs, numerous tea rooms and gift shops. Conveniently situated near the A3020, the main road between Newport and Shanklin, making both amenities and the south Wight coastline accessible. Adjacent to public bridleway.  

BARN Steps lead to the large stone terrace, which extends the length of the south side of the barn. Contemporary black French doors flood the barn with natural light. The barn feels spacious partly due an open vaulted timber beam ceiling, whitewashed stone walls and oak flooring. The existing layout of the barn is an open planned living area, dining area, lounge with open fireplace and hearth. There is a partly completed room which is partly insulated and could be utilised as a utility or kitchen, if required.

The property also benefits from a stable block to the rear of the property which within the planning consent comprises two double bedrooms both en suite. The panoramic rural vista extends south across farmland, the downs, Ventnor and beyond.  

BUILDINGS The property benefits from a number of useable buildings including a hay store, a stable block of metal frame construction comprising various loose boxes and feed store, recently painted and waterproof wood store all of which have the potential for conversion (stpp). The buildings also benefit from a positive pre-application (dated October 2020) whereby the planning authority confirmed that "the demolition of existing barn and stables (in part) for a proposed holiday unit could be acceptable".

There are two concrete pads and footings to the west and east of the property. The barns are in an elevated and rural position. 

LAND AND EQUESTRIAN FACILITY The land is laid to grass extending to 3.5 acres with an additional 1 acre of copse with a stream to the west. The private driveway is edged with chalk boulders and mature greenery and provides plentiful parking. There is a sand school with a chalk base and sand surface. 

METHOD OF SALE The property is offered for sale by private treaty. 

RIGHTS OF WAY There are no public or private rights of way across the property. There is a public bridleway (outside of the properties curtilage) to the north.  

SERVICES The property and stables are served by mains electric. Water requires connection to the mains supply, which is by the main road (Godshill Road). There is no heating currently serving the property. The property is served by private drainage (Klargester) which is currently disconnected. 

TENURE Freehold with vacant possession. 

LOCAL AUTHORITY Isle of Wight Council.  

PLANNING The property is outside of the Isle of Wight Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The barn benefits from full planning permission (under reference 19/01257/FUL) for the conversion into a two-bedroom dwelling. The vendors have received a positive pre-application from the Isle of Wight Council (October 2020) reference to the demolition of the hay store and stables (in part) to provide space for a proposed holiday unit. Further information can be made available to prospective buyers from the sales agents.  

ACCESS The property benefits from an all-purpose right of access across the area hatched orange on the sale plan. The property has its own exclusive internal track off of the farm track
leading to the property, this is hatched blue on the sale plan.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    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

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    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
