3 bedroom Property for sale

£815,000 SSTC

Moons Hill, Isle of wight, PO40 9RP

It is understood the property was originally 'The Stables' to The Briary, home of the famous Victorian sculpture, G.F. Watts – contemporary of poet Lord Alfred Tennyson (his home Farringford located nearby) and photographer Julia Cameron. They were known as 'The Freshwater Set'. Briary Barn was later extended and converted into a home in the latter part of the 20th century. The accommodation in the original barn features vaulted ceilings to the main reception rooms and large windows which flood light in the space. Currently there are three bedrooms, a shower room and a bathroom, together with a neat study area, utility room, kitchen, snug sitting room and a extremely generous lounge which offers further potential to be subdivided to provide an extra bedroom if required.



The extensive gardens surround the property and offer much privacy and seclusion including the fabulous sunny Mediterranean style garden creating a fabulous space to entertain. To the front is a large gravelled driveway offering ample parking and turning space, together with a garage. In addition, there are other useful outbuildings including a large timber workshop/studio. 

LOCATION The rural location of Moons Hill, sits on the southerly outskirts of the village in a conservation area, backing onto Tennyson Down which has AONB status and accessible to miles of country and coastal walks along the surrounding downland from Freshwater Bay through to Alum Bay, where there are some of the best views in the south of England. The beaches in Totland, Freshwater and Colwell Bays are all around a five minute drive away and the mainland ferry terminal in Yarmouth is around a ten minute drive away, making this property ideally suited as a permanent or second home/holiday retreat.
