Click thumbnail to view
The farmhouse is believed to originate from the 1600’s and provides good quality, modern family accommodation. The house was substantially rebuilt around 25 years ago retaining a lot of character features including fine stone fireplaces and a wonderful brick fireplace in the brew house including the original bread oven. There are also exposed timbers to walls and some of the ceilings. The property has been subject to further modernisation in recent years including updating of electrical and plumbing systems and now provides a well presented home with flexible accommodation. In addition to the main farmhouse there is an adjacent brew house which can either be incorporated into the accommodation or can be used as a separate self contained cottage, ideal for holiday lets or relatives. There are also a good range of outbuildings that have the potential to provide a useful studio or home office in addition to garaging and storage. The principally south facing garden includes various terraces and lawns interspersed with mature shrubs, specimen trees and fruit trees that border farmland to the south and provides a very attractive setting.
The property is located in the small hamlet of Knighton situated in the midst of attractive rolling downland designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There are excellent walkways and bridle paths accessible from the property throughout the surrounding countryside. There is easy access to sailing at Seaview and Bembridge; Ryde School (about 4 1/2 miles); Newport town centre (about 5 miles). Also convenient are mainland ferry links from both Ryde and Fishbourne (about 5 miles) and East Cowes (about 8 miles).
