Description
Warders Cottage
The property is situated in a particularly quiet and secluded setting off a rural country lane, midway between downland and the south-western coast of the Island. This is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and there are great walks and cycle rides directly from the property including to nearby beaches.
The cottage, believed to originate from the late 17th Century, retains a wonderful array of original features ranging from fine fireplaces and impressive beams to flagstone flooring and ancient timber doors. The property is Listed, Grade II and was sympathetically extended in around 2012 to add a spacious kitchen breakfast room and principal bedroom suite.
The property has delightful, mature west facing gardens beyond which is a field of approximately 2.65 acres and a useful timber clad barn with workshop and home office. The grounds provide a particularly tranquil setting, whilst the property is within a few minutes drive of the popular village of Brighstone with its good range of local facilities including an excellent village shop, doctors' surgery, primary school and popular tennis club.
