House For Sale £375,000
This adorable, thatched cottage can be found in the picturesque village of Niton. It is set back from the lane and approached via a gravel driveway flanked by dwarf walls and shrub hedging discreetly hiding the property as well as enclosing a cosy front garden. Once through the double wrought iron gates you have your first real glimpse of the character of this charming cottage with its grey stone wall, multi-pane casement windows and solid oak front door that opens straight into the lounge.
The property has been lovingly restored by the current owners with painstaking attention to detail. The lounge is part of the original cottage that dates from around 1750 and includes some delightful features such as an inglenook fireplace and bread oven, wood burning stove, exposed beams and flagstone flooring. There are stairs to a double bedroom with an en suite bathroom and a hand carved stone archway to the kitchen and dining area. The open plan fitted kitchen and dining area are in the modern extension which has been sensitively designed to incorporate aspects of the original cottage with a continuation of exposed beams and terracotta flooring. There are French doors from the dining area and access to a shower room and a spiral staircase to the second double bedroom.
Both bedrooms are impressive with solid wood flooring and beamed and vaulted ceilings. Bedroom one is in the original part of the cottage and includes a well fitted bathroom while the second bedroom looks out to the rear garden through a glazed gable and skylights. There is a secluded rear garden with steps to a large lawn, the long gravel driveway for off road parking and a pathway to the attractive log cabin with its decked terrace. The one room cabin includes a wood and beamed ceiling, wood flooring with underfloor heating and large double doors to the terrace as well as a shower/utility room.
What the Owner says:
Niton is a very friendly place with a strong sense of community. We have the excellent White Lion pub and Joe's Bar that includes a café and the post office. There is also a pharmacy, convenience store and medical centre as well as a nursery and a great primary school. We are just over a mile from Castle Haven beach and only about four miles to Ventnor with its charming sea front and great walks along the sea wall.
Ventnor's all year-round climate is milder than that surrounding and as is notable for its superb Victorian Botanic Gardens, where you can enjoy a stroll round this 22-acre sub-tropical paradise.
The town has a number of sporting clubs including cricket, rugby, football, angling and bowling, as well as a riding school and local golf club. There is a selection of schools in the vicinity and is also the location for the island's ‘Free School'.
