Summary - COMPTON FIELDS MILITARY ROAD ATHERFIELD VENTNOR PO38 2JH
4 bed 1 bath Farm House
Secluded coastal-acreage offering paddocks, outbuildings and panoramic sea views.
Approximately 9.44 acres of pasture, paddocks and arable land
Set within the Isle of Wight National Landscape, this non-listed thatched farmhouse sits privately on about 9.44 acres, offering wide sea and countryside views and direct access to the coastal footpath. The house has traditional character, a wraparound garden with stream and pedestrian bridge to paddock, plus off-street parking and useful terraces for outdoor living. It is offered chain free and has been in the same family for over 60 years.
The estate includes a range of traditional outbuildings: a restored two‑floor stable block and a large threshing barn (360m2) with substantial yard space. These buildings provide genuine hobby-farm or income potential, subject to planning (stpp). Part of the barn and yard are currently occupied under a licence (tenant paying a weekly licence fee; licence until 1 January 2026).
Practical points to note: the property uses oil-fired heating with boiler and radiators, is connected to mains water and electricity but drains to a private system, and some buildings contain asbestos materials. Broadband speeds are very slow (approx. 1/3 Mbps). Parts of the grounds adjacent to the stream fall into Flood Zone 2 and 3. Council Tax band F applies and is described as expensive.
This home will suit someone seeking a tranquil coastal-rural retirement base or a hobby farmer looking for land and historic buildings. It offers immediate enjoyment of the setting and clear scope for modest improvement or conversion work in the outbuildings, but buyers should factor in maintenance, planning requirements and service limitations.
