Description - Rossiters is set in a picturesque rural location on the outskirts of Wellow, offering some rooms with southerly views towards the Downs. The nearby village of Shalfleet provides a school and a pub, while both Newtown Creek and the charming harbour town of Yarmouth are close by, offering excellent sailing opportunities. Yarmouth also features a variety of pubs, restaurants, and a ferry service to Lymington.

History - The property is thought to date back to the 1700s and has been expanded over the years, with a major extension added in the late 1980s. The original part of the house was re-roofed in 2013, including re-thatching, and is listed as Grade II.

The farmhouse provides excellent living accommodation, refurbished to a high standard complementing the holiday lets nearby.

The holiday lets were once used as part of the vineyard and have now been sympathetically converted by the current owners, with vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, rear terraces with hot tubs and all enjoying spectacular views towards the nearby farmland.
