Nestled within an area of outstanding natural beauty on the outskirts of historical village Havenstreet, lies this charming, three bedroom character property set in approximately 10.2 acres of land with a well-appointed equestrian facility included.
Situated off a quiet, country lane, down a private driveway, in a picturesque location surrounded by fields and woodland, lies this idyllic, pretty cottage with a large, enclosed garden, bordered by a quaint, picket fence and ample parking for numerous vehicles as well as a garage. Inside you'll find a well-equipped, contemporary kitchen complete with space for a dishwasher and tumble dryer as well as the American style fridge freezer. This opens out via an archway into the spacious sitting room that's bathed in natural light from the French doors and dual aspect windows, and which boasts an attractive wood burning stove.
Additionally, there's a separate dining room down the central hallway and a convenient utility/boot room by the back door – ideal for throwing off your muddy outer wear as you come inside from the farm. There are three well proportioned bedrooms at the opposite end from the main living areas which share a modern shower room.
The equestrian facility comprises of a large stable yard which includes seven stables as well as three storage units and two tack rooms. Additionally, there's a feed store here, as well as a convenient toilet and utility room, with plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer. Of the ten acres in total, nine are used for grazing and are divided into numerous paddocks, several of which benefit from field shelters. There's also the added advantage of a purpose designed all-weather turnout paddock – a necessity for horse owners with our increasingly wetter winters here in the UK. And of course, no equestrian facility would be complete without a menage.
The current owners have enjoyed the use of the facility for their own use over the years, as well as scope for a livery yard, a potential and always popular option for new owners.
What the Owner says:This is the closest you can get to living ‘off grid' without any of the compromises that go with it. It is so peaceful and secluded here, you can switch off and forget the world and its troubles. And yet, we are central to the isle and only a five minute drive away from Ryde and fifteen minutes' drive from the principal town of Newport with everything we need.
Likewise, Ryde is just down the road, which has both the Hovercraft and high speed catamaran, allowing us to get to the mainland in a matter of minutes. It really is the absolute best of both worlds.
We have given our children the most idyllic upbringing here and we have wonderful memories of watching the steam train pass by at the edge of the fields, transporting us to times gone by. It will be a huge wrench leaving here, but with our children grown it's time for another family to enjoy this rare and special home.
