Newport, Isle of Wight

Nestled in the heart of stunning countryside up a private drive, this beautiful, former coach house, set in the picturesque hamlet of Horringford is the perfect combination of modern convenience and old-world charm, further to its extensive renovation by the current owners.

The entrance hallway can be accessed either via a pretty, stable door or directly from the integrated garage. Leading from the hallway is the gorgeous, light sitting room that boasts a feature fireplace with a multifuel burner, solid wood flooring and dual aspect windows and French doors that open onto one of the pretty cottage gardens. From there is the stunning, open plan kitchen and dining area that is flooded with light from the impressive bifold doors that span almost the entire width of the wall, plus a second set of bi-folds, as well as a large lantern skylight. This fantastic space has a gorgeous, fitted kitchen, with attractive bamboo countertops, integrated dishwasher and fridge freezer, a useful breakfast bar and a beautiful aga, as well as a conventional oven. Directly off the kitchen is a substantial utility room that works superbly as a boot room as well, having external access via another delightful stable door to the gardens. From here there is also a separate cloakroom, concluding the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor is divided into two areas, each with its own staircase affording flexibility of use. Bedroom one is a good-sized double with its own ensuite and views over the pretty garden and countryside beyond. Likewise, bedrooms two and three are of good proportions and share similar views, and both have use of a gorgeous family bathroom, with a separate shower and luxurious bathtub.

Outside, the property is framed by simply stunning wrap around gardens filled with delightful flowerbeds, a gorgeous, natural stone patio and manicured lawn, all bordered by a pretty stone wall. Screened behind the large barn, a wonderful practical area has been created, with raised beds for vegetables and compost areas. There's driveway parking for numerous vehicles, as well as the integrated garage.

The large barn has benefitted from a new roof and been repointed. The barn was originally used for horses and provides enormous potential to a buyer. The main barn extends to 45 ft in length, with an additional potting shed with its own separate access door.

What the Owner says:

Horringford is a hamlet on the outskirts of the ancient village, Arreton - a lovely, friendly community and an ideal place to raise a family or enjoy a peaceful retirement. There are countless walks in the area, including Arreton downs - an Area of Specific Scientific Interest – and the famous Red Squirrel trail that runs along an old railway line adjacent to the river Yar. We are lucky enough to have our own woodland garden, which encourages visits from the red squirrels, woodpeckers and a variety of other wildlife.

Conveniently located a few minutes' walk from the property is Harvey Browns – a farm shop showcasing such a vast array of the finest Isle of Wight produce that you could feasibly do your entire grocery shopping here. There's also a fantastic restaurant there with stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

Within Arreton village is a post office, convenience store and The White Lion pub, serving quality food and drink. There's also Arreton Barns which has the Island's largest selection of shops selling arts and crafts by local artisans and artists, as well as a pub - The Dairyman's Daughter – that serves traditional pub meals and local ales.

The number 3 bus passes through the village between Newport and Ryde via Sandown and Bembridge, and in the summer there's also the Downs Breezer bus.
