Located in Whitwell, Isle of Wight, in the South of England, this farmhouse sleeps up to 9 people and boasts features such as being nearby the coast and having an open fire. Surrounded by beautiful countryside, the farmhouse is a perfect base for exploring the Isle of Wight, with private paths across the farm connecting to a network of footpaths leading to St Catherine's Down or the coast at Chale, Blackgang, or Niton. The south west coast of the island with its quiet sandy coves is easily accessible, as are the larger sandy beaches of Ventnor, Shanklin, and Sandown within a 15-minute drive.
The spacious and light detached stone farmhouse offers ample room for a large family or group of friends. The ground floor features a large double aspect sitting room with a wood-burning stove, a dining room overlooking the garden, and a well-equipped kitchen with bespoke wooden units and granite worktops. Additionally, there is a utility room, an ante room, and a downstairs WC on the ground floor. Upstairs, there are four charming bedrooms, including a master bedroom with an en suite bathroom, a second spacious double bedroom with an en suite shower room, and two twin rooms. A folding bed for an extra child is also available upon request.
The large private 1.5 acre enclosed garden includes a terrace with garden furniture and a BBQ, perfect for outdoor dining. Another terrace at the front of the house offers a relaxing spot to enjoy the evening sun and observe the wildlife that visits the garden, such as badgers, foxes, jackdaws, and the resident owl in the barn.
