Situated in an attractive courtyard, this property is surrounded by open fields stretching out towards the Downs. A short stroll will bring you to the nearby village of Godshill, home to a variety of tearooms, restaurants and pubs. A wonderful walking area, footpaths lead from the farm to Appuldurcombe House and join the extensive Stenbury Trail to Ventnor for its lovely beach. Two other stunning sandy beaches, Shanklin and Sandown, are only a short drive away.

On entering the cottage the ground floor is laid to laminate flooring throughout – the ideal place to slip off those boots after exploring the woodland walks available from the doorstep. This stunning cottage enjoys a spacious entrance hall with a striking exposed staircase, a lovely kitchen/diner, a cosy lounge and a downstairs WC. The kitchen diner overlooks beautiful farmland views to the rear. There is a dining table with 4 chairs and a wall mounted smart TV alongside a pretty dresser. The modern fitted kitchen benefits from a large electric ceramic range cooker with 5 hob plates, a separate worktop surface mounted hob for 2 pans, a second electric oven, a combination microwave oven with grill, dishwasher, washing machine and a fridge/freezer. The cottage is the perfect spot to relax and unwind after your fun days out exploring the local countryside, beaches or many nearby attractions. A warm lounge with large rug and stunning countryside views to the rear are enjoyed on a sofa and two wingback armchairs. Coupled with an elegant fire surround to LED flame-effect electric fire and large wall mounted smart TV. Upstairs the open galleried landing leads to two charming double bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom with a handheld shower attachment over the bath and both double bedrooms have electric blankets. There is also a separate shower room and a relaxing reading nook. The rooms enjoy exposed stone walls and ceiling beams and are laid to carpet. Each bedroom has a double bed, wardrobe and two bedside cabinets together with lamps. There are 3 WCs in the entire property. The relaxing Reading Nook is a new addition to the cottage and this sunny room provides a further space to enjoy some quiet time in a large wingback armchair, whilst reading books and magazines and listening to music upon the radio.

Outside there is a lovely enclosed lawn garden with a picnic bench for enjoying al fresco meals in the sunshine. This can be accessed by the front door and by heading around the side of the cottage.

For dog owners in particular. There is no direct access from the property into the enclosed garden. You have to go out of the front door and walk to the rear of the property to your secure garden.

A lovely cottage in good location with great views. There were a few issues but nothing that spoilt the holiday and could be easily rectified. Not much cupboard space to put food as all full with crockery and cooking utensils. A lovely place to stay. Quiet and a good position.
