Whiteley Bank, Whiteley Bank
£525,000

This charming character cottage is located in the semi-rural hamlet of Whiteley Bank, just a 10 minute drive from Shanklin and a 15 minute drive from Ventnor, both providing access to an array of useful amenities. The cottage enjoys far reaching countryside views in every direction, and the adjacent paddock is ideal for keeping livestock, equestrian pursuits or simply as additional garden space. The property benefits from a self-contained annexe, which would be ideal for an elderly relative or as a holiday let (subject to the relevant change of use). There are also 2 sited caravans, one currently used as storage, and the other which could be used to accommodate friends and family when they come to visit.

The cottage is in need of some modernisation, and the accommodation comprises 2 good-sized reception rooms, a separate kitchen, and utility room with WC on the ground floor, with 3 bedrooms and the family bathroom on the first floor. Additionally, the cottage benefits from an enclosed front garden, which is laid mainly to lawn and the gated driveway, which provides ample off road parking. The extended garden leads to the first of 2 sited caravans, one currently used for storage, and the other which could be used to accommodate friends and family when they come to visit.

The unique nature of the cottage with the scope to put your own stamp on the home, coupled with the self-contained annexe/holiday let income, the paddock, and extensive gardens makes this a truly one-off home, which offers so much potential to put down roots in a property that provides almost endless possibilities. A viewing is essential to fully appreciate everything this truly charming CHAIN FREE cottage and it's many benefits has to offer!
