3 bedroom House for sale

£450,000 SSTC

High Street, Whitwell, PO38 2QE

Description

Located in the heart of the popular village, Grade II listed Strathwell Dale is a characterful 3 bedroom cottage. Although the date stamp reads 1722, there is evidence of a property on the site from the early 1600's and this home is steeped in history and local folklore. The current owners undertook an extensive and sympathetic renovation, starting in 2007. This uncovered a wealth of period details, such as, Inglenook fireplaces with bread oven and spice cupboard, beamed ceilings, a former dairy which has been converted into a well-appointed kitchen and intriguingly, an alleged smugglers hideout. All of which add to the charm of this attractive Island stone cottage. There is parking for 2 vehicles to the side and access onto a good size rear garden. Located to the south of the Island, Whitwell village enjoys a local pub and is a short drive to nearby Niton which has good village amenities including: Shop and post office, eateries, churches, primary school and beaches.
