Freehold

Description

This attractive residential farm occupies the western slopes of the Rew Valley towards the south of the Island providing some magnificent views of the Island and the English Channel. Situated within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the nearby coastal towns of Ventnor and Shanklin provide a range of local shops, restaurants and beaches whilst the particularly well regarded "Free school" is in Ventnor. There are a series of mainland ferry connections within around 30 minutes drive providing regular access to the mainland. 

Description This ring fenced farm has the majority of farm buildings adjacent to the farmhouse within but there is a separate yard and buildings to the north. The farm extends to approximately 180 acres consisting of approximately 135 acres of undulating pasture, (much of which was producing combinable crops during the 1990s) and about 38 acres of woodland. The deciduous woodland was believed to be planted with Capability Brown's involvement with some 200 year old Beach Trees. There are various woodland strips planted across the fields.

PLease note the farm is no longer available in lots but only as a whole



 

The attractive six bedroom stone farmhouse (1 on the block plan) has accommodation over three floors with an array of period features including fine fireplaces and benefits from good views over its land and the surrounding Rew Valley. The farmhouse is not listed but would now benefit from some modernisation.

To the rear of the farmhouse are three holiday cottages converted from period stone farm buildings in the 1990s providing a rental income. There is UPVC double glazing to the house and holiday cottages.
