House For Sale £650,000
'The Old Piggery' represents an enviable opportunity to acquire a fabulous three-bedroom home, set in an idyllic location with beautiful gardens, spectacular views and also featuring a stunning annexe.
Sympathetically updated and upgraded by the current owners, The Old Piggery is a surprisingly spacious single-storey home, which has been transformed by the addition of the stunning annexe, completed in 2016. The annexe has introduced versatility to the property providing an opportunity to return an income, to suit multi-generational family living or to offer the ultimate guest suite. Living areas of the home and annexe are arranged to make the most of the spectacular views over farm and downland, with Tennyson Down and the Western reaches of the Solent in the background. Needless to say, with the westerly rural outlook the sunsets are breathtaking. The property is all electric, well-insulated and benefits from an efficient air-source heat pump combined with 16 solar panels perfectly positioned to make the most of the sun and to provide a surplus of energy.
Situated in on Elm Lane in Calbourne, The Old Piggery enjoys a delightfully tranquil and peaceful location, just a stone’s throw from the village pub. Calbourne is one of the most unspoilt villages on the Island with a green at its centre which sits beside an ancient church dating back to 826AD. An idyllic location, but also convenient, with the principal town of Newport just five miles away which has a wide range of shops and amenities, as well as cultural events including the vibrant Quay Arts Centre. Sailing towns of Cowes and Yarmouth are a short drive away, and both benefit from mainland ferry links.
Accommodation in the main house comprises of an entrance hall, large country kitchen-diner, spacious living room, three double bedrooms, with two en-suites and a family bathroom. Within the annexe there is a kitchen-diner, bathroom, bedroom and sitting room.
