Emmett Hill House is a substantial four-bedroom detached farmhouse set in about 5.5 acres of pasture and woodland, positioned to enjoy south-facing shelter and far-reaching West Wight views. The house combines traditional character — exposed beams, stone fireplaces and an 18th-century bread oven — with practical family spaces: a large kitchen with pantry, formal lounge, conservatory and two ensuite double bedrooms.
The grounds and outbuildings are a major part of the offer. Landscaped lawns and a flagstone courtyard sit close to the house, while pasture, a large pond, streams and sheltered woodland extend beyond. A modern outbuilding block includes a serviced office, garage and storage sheds; the pasture includes a pole barn and lends itself to low‑intensity equestrian, smallholding or glamping potential.
Important practical points are clear: heating is oil‑fired via boiler and radiators, drainage is private, and broadband speeds are slow despite excellent mobile signal. Solar panels are fitted and have remaining Feed‑in Tariff value. The property is freehold and sold as a whole, offering privacy and seclusion but also requiring ongoing maintenance of house, outbuildings and extensive grounds.
This is a strong proposition for a family seeking a roomy, characterful country home with space for outdoor pursuits, for buyers wanting an adaptable rural property, or for those planning modest refurbishment to modernise services and connectivity. Viewers should be prepared for rural utilities, higher council tax banding and the upkeep that accompanies a large estate plot.
