Description

Situated within the rural village of Whitwell, this beautiful 19th century cottage boasts period features and character throughout and benefits from private parking, an expansive front garden and a charming rear courtyard.

Dating back to 1870, this fabulous home is bursting with features one would expect from a quintessential English country cottage, and has been sympathetically updated in a beautiful style that perfectly complements the character of the original building. The property also benefits from an efficient combination of double-glazing, electric heating and hot water and an open fireplace in the snug and a woodburning stove in the lounge/diner. Accommodation is well arranged, and comprises a fantastic open-plan lounge/diner, separate snug and a cottage kitchen on the ground floor, with four bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor. Outside, there is a mature garden and a hardstanding providing parking for two cars to the front, plus a secluded courtyard to the rear offering perfect spots to relax amidst this tranquil location.

This cottage benefits from being nearby to the village amenities of Whitwell, including a highly regarded pub, a garage and a convenient post office. The local pub, the White Horse Inn, has a good reputation for food and is reputed to be the oldest free house on the Isle of Wight, first recorded as a public house in 1454. Whitwell has many footpaths and bridleways running through it, offering access to wonderful country walks. Additionally, the popular village of Niton is about a five-minute drive away which provides a great range of facilities including local schools at pre-school and primary level, a well-stocked convenience store, a post office, a medical centre and a pharmacy. Southern Vectis bus route 6 links Whitwell with the towns of Newport and Ventnor, including intermediate villages.
