5 bed detached house for sale

Godshill Road, Whitwell, Isle Of Wight PO38

Set within 2.35 acres of beautiful countryside, this exceptional period home combines character, versatility and modern family living in a wonderfully tranquil setting.

Outside, the property continues to impress. A substantial oak-framed barn provides garaging for two cars, workshop space, storage and additional accommodation, complete with power, lighting, a gardener's WC, sink and drainer and hot water. Currently used as a hobby room/gym, it has previously provided additional family accommodation .

The beautifully maintained grounds feature sweeping lawns, mature trees, hedgerows, a large wildlife pond and numerous seating areas, creating a peaceful and private environment. A greenhouse and gated vegetable garden benefit from natural well-water irrigation, while a restored well supplies water for the gardens. Part of the original Island railway embankment forms an intriguing feature within the grounds, with commanding countryside views.

A large gravelled driveway provides ample off-road parking, while the surrounding countryside offers excellent walking opportunities across Stenbury Downs and towards the Worsley Obelisk and neighbouring villages. Newport and the Island's wider amenities are readily accessible. Subject to separate negotiation, an additional adjacent seven acres of pasture or equestrian land is also available by sepaarte negotiation, offering further scope for those seeking land and rural versatility.

What the Owner says:
Since moving here in 2014 we have enjoyed creating a
beautiful garden from a blank canvas on our 2 acre site We
planted over 80 native trees, created an English native hedgerow
and dug a wildlife pond.
Over the years we have been rewarded by wildlife moving into the
garden to entertain us. A family of Moorhens have bred on the pond
for the last 5 years and Swallows return to the barn to breed.
By feeding the Red Squirrels when we first moved in, they have been
a constant source of entertainment. Quiet Summer evenings are
spent outside watching and listening to the wildlife whilst viewing
the ever-changing views and sunsets.
Winter evenings are spent in the cosy “snug” in front of the log burner
watching the ever changing views and sunsets over the Downs.
