Property Description
A beautiful period barn conversion located in a stunning high rural downland location with spacious secondary accommodation and superb countryside views.
The property occupies an elevated position on Rowridge Down at the head of a beautiful valley in the midst of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and is approached over a tarmacadem private (shared) lane approximately 1.4 miles long. It is rare to find such a quiet rural position in the middle of such wonderful walking country with superb walks available from the doorstep. The garden is bordered on three sides by open fields making for a quiet, secluded setting.
Originally converted in 1986, with additional accommodation above the open-fronted garaging added around 1990, the barn provides extensive and versatile accommodation. There are plenty of original features and character with exposed stonework and a number of vaulted ceilings. Large windows and the southerly aspect provide particularly light and airy accommodation with glorious views over the spectacular surrounding countryside. The N.W. (front) elevation overlooks the garden whilst the rear (S.E.) overlooks lawned back garden and downland fields. The original barn conversion comprises four bedrooms (originally five), with the additional accommodation created above the extensive garaging currently used as a large self-contained apartment but would also lend itself to a variety of other uses including holiday lettings or a large office space. There is one neighbouring property and a nearby farm and prominent television mast.

THE ISLE OF WIGHT
The Isle of Wight, situated off the South Coast of England, is becoming an ever-more popular location for permanent and second homes. Made popular by Queen Victoria, who had her maritime residence at Osborne, the Island is famous for sailing in the Solent; for Cowes Week; for its beautiful coastline including sandy beaches and The Needles; spectacular countryside and long sunshine hours. There are now many more facilities than once was the case, Sainsburys, Tesco, M&S and now Waitrose all now have a presence as have other national chains. Communication and transport links are excellent; regular car ferries connect with the national motorway network and fast catamarans have connections via Southampton and Portsmouth with direct trains to London Waterloo which can be reached within 2 hours of leaving the Island shore. Government-funded schools are numerous and independent schools thrive on the Island with some children attending prep and public schools on the mainland. Leisure opportunities abound - walking, riding, paragliding, hang-gliding, team sports, sailing, wind surfing and other water sports, rugby, football (Newport Football Club) cricket and golf clubs. Good transport links enable day trips to the shopping centres of West Quay, Southampton and Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth.
