The property is currently configured as two beautiful homes, which boast character and charming original features and allow the possibility as one large property or two separate dwellings dependent on your needs. The current owners have benefitted from letting each dwelling individually which has provided a healthy income and been very popular with its residents. The this property is the larger home of the two, and is accessed via attractive original arched double doors that lead you into a substantial entrance hall. This room is used as a snug and games room by the current owners due to its size. From here you access the impressive drawing room with its vaulted ceiling and beautiful full height windows flooding this room and its mezzanine galleried landing and sitting area with natural light. A large dining room sits adjacent to the drawing room, and currently allows space for a large 10-seater dining table, so the largest of dinner party may be accommodated easily. The kitchen is spacious with an array of fitted storage, and space for a breakfast table and boasts a large range cooker. Adjacent to this is a handy utility area. The ground floor of the property has a bright double bedroom with an adjoining modern shower room, as well as a ground floor study which retains its secret access door that leads into the dining hall. The first floor of the main house can be accessed by two separate stairwells, one of which leads up to the master bedroom suite, whilst the other stairwell accesses the other two bedrooms and galleried sitting area. The master suite is substantial and offers another secret door that opens on to the galleried landing, and also provides a dressing area and large modern contemporary en-suite bathroom with an attractive freestanding bath. The School House is accessed either from its own front door into a spacious entrance hall, or integrally from the utility room of the main house. The large entrance hallway leads off into a bedroom or study which is a beautiful dual aspect room that benefits from a further shower room. The first-floor accommodation has two large double bedrooms, which are both accessed from independent stairwells from the ground floor.
What the Owner says:
I purchased the property about a year ago and have been delighted to refurbish it to a very high standard. However I am now looking for another project and hope that new owners will enjoy everything I have done to create this special home with its flexible accommodation. Whether you are looking for a large family or inter-generational home or want to generate an income from renting either all or part of the property, the house provides a variety of opportunities.
It is in wonderful surroundings and the centre of this adorable village that includes the White Horse pub – the oldest pub on the Isle of Wight and dates back to 1454. Whitwell also has a garage and a post office in the 700 year old church bell tower and a village hall that hosts a variety of activities. There are wonderful places to go for walks across the Downs and to the ‘Pepperpot.' This tall octagonal tower is the shell of a lighthouse built in 1314 as a penance for stealing wine from a ship that ran aground on treacherous rocks. It is not far to Niton village where you will find 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 primary school.
