This is a delightful, four-bedroom character property in the
picturesque hamlet of Chale on the largely unspoilt south coast of
the island that dates back to the 1500's. Set within a generous
plot, this grade two listed property is arranged over three floors
and boasts private vehicular access with ample parking, beautiful,
island stone construction and period features throughout.
Entrance to the ground floor is via the original front door and
into a good-sized sitting room, with a stunning, original,
inglenook fireplace complete with original, bread oven.
Additionally on this floor is a separate dining room that also
boasts original fireplace and oven, as well as a large kitchen,
built in the 1800's, that still has its original flagstone
floors.
To the first floor is a spacious family bathroom with separate
bath and shower, as well as two double bedrooms, which both have
original floorboards and boast views over the countryside and the
sea beyond. On the second floor are a further two double bedrooms
which also benefit from impressive rural views.
Outside is a large, wrap around garden with mature plants and
trees, bordered by beautiful countryside and farmland.
This Elizabethan property is steeped in history and is believed
to have been built by wealthy locals with connections to the
infamous smuggling trade and has links to the nearby Abbey, with a
rumoured ‘Priest hole' hidden somewhere inside. This property
emanates charm throughout and is bursting with potential to make it
a truly spectacular family home.
What the Owner says:
I bought this house in 1996 for the cosy, calm and quiet feel it
has. I've researched its history extensively and am excited to be
passing all of this knowledge onto future occupants. My children
grew up here and moving on will be a wrench, but I need somewhere
smaller and its time for a new family to enjoy this wonderful home.
The parish of Chale is classified as an Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty (AONB), heritage coast and site of special
scientific interest. The long boundary with the sea offers stunning
views to the Needles, Tennyson downs and beyond, and the unspoilt
wildness is considered a gem of the Isle of Wight landscape. What
better way to enjoy this breathtaking landscape than along one of
the many footpaths that abound this area.
This wonderful property is within easy walking distance of the
renown White Mouse Inn, which was once a favourite haunt amongst
both Royalty and smugglers alike, and now offers unrivalled sea
views accompanied by great food and drink. A short drive will take
you to the village of Niton, where you'll find pubs, cafés and two
convenience stores – one of which has a post office - as well as a
GP surgery and pharmacy, plus a highly sought after primary school
and nursery. The number 6 bus runs through Chale, which will take
you to Ventnor – a lovely seaside town bustling with high-end
restaurants and boutique shops - and to Newport - the island's
principal town.
