Summary

Set in the countryside on the outskirts of Bembridge, this former barn has been beautifully converted to provide a stunning home which blends all the requirements of modern day, eco-friendly living whilst retaining the character one would expect from a home set within the curtilage of a Grade II listed site. Vaulted ceilings in the living and main bedrooms areas have exposed solid oak beams running through, beautifully complementing the solid oak staircases, whilst Velux windows and glazing across the front of the property floods the house with natural light.

Arranged over 2 floors, the spacious accommodation comprises a welcoming entrance hall which has an oak staircase to the principle bedroom suite, and gives access to a wonderfully bright sitting room. This has floor to ceiling French doors and windows onto the garden and a multi fuel stove. From here there is a second oak staircase accessing the second bedroom suite. Further ground floor accommodation includes a high quality kitchen, 2 double bedrooms and a bathroom. On the first floor the principle suite comprises large double bedroom with stunning views of Culver Downs and the local countryside, an en-suite bathroom incorporating both a bath and double shower cubicle, and a lobby/dressing area with built in wardrobes. These rooms are accessed via a galleried landing which overlooks the sitting room and is a great space for use as a snug, library or office. The second bedroom suite comprises double bedroom with views of the local countryside, an en-suite shower room and galleried landing area. Under floor heating runs throughout the house, powered by an air source heat pump, and the Velux windows are electrically operated closing automatically when raining.

Externally, the property is accessed via a private shared driveway which leads to a private parking area and double garage. The gardens have been landscaped to incorporate a paved patio area, lawn and planted borders and is enclosed with a low stone wall and fencing.

This is a wonderful home in a great semi-rural location, nestled within National Trust land yet only a short 10 minute walk to the beach at Whitecliff Bay. The islands principle town of Newport is only a 20 minute drive, as is the coastal town of Ryde with its ferry links to the mainland.
