Set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty between Godshill and Chale, this characterful four-bedroom barn conversion combines period charm with bright, recently refreshed interiors. The vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and a large living–dining room with a wood-burning stove create an inviting family hub, while the kitchen-diner and adjoining snug provide flexible space for everyday living and entertaining.
The generous rear garden is mostly lawn with wildflower areas, two terraces and far-reaching countryside views—ideal for children, pets and outdoor hobbies. Practical benefits include driveway parking for two, an en-bloc single garage, fast broadband and proximity to good primary schools and countryside bridleways for daily walks.
Buyers should note some ongoing running considerations: heating is via an oil-fired boiler (not a community supply) and the property uses private drainage. There is a modest estate charge (approximately £60 per month) and an annual service charge figure is recorded as £720. The house was converted and significantly updated in recent years but, as with older conversions, buyers should confirm permissions and system ages with their solicitor and surveyor.
This home will suit families seeking spacious rural living with strong indoor–outdoor flow and lovely sunsets to the west. It offers immediate move-in condition with scope to personalise further while enjoying an established community and convenient access to Newport for additional amenities.
