High Street, Newchurch, Isle Of Wight, PO36

This unique home is conveniently located in the centre of the charming village of Newchurch. It was originally built in the late 1700s as two farm labourers' cottages but this beautiful old farmhouse has undergone a total renovation that includes a partial rebuild as well as incorporating a substantial two-storey rear extension. Great efforts have been made by the owners, as it has been their ancestral home for many generations, to sensitively restore many original features while also creating a superb home designed for 21st century living, so it combines traditional charm that includes fireplaces and sash windows with modern accoutrements. The front door opens into a spacious and stunning reception hall with a double height window providing plenty of natural light, beautiful restored wood flooring that flows through an archway to the deceptively large sitting room. In the mid-1800s the light and airy sitting room was added with its gorgeous bay window and attractive fireplace. There is also a snug that would make an excellent office for anyone working from home. Off the hallway is an open archway to the extension where you will find the ultimate in contemporary design – the ultra-modern kitchen/dining room. This has trendy units housing a Neff induction hob, self-cleaning oven with a slide under door, an integrated dishwasher, full height fridge and freezer and a stone topped central island with a breakfast bar. While you can also enjoy entertaining friends and family at a large table in the dining area that has French doors to the garden with views of the rolling hills beyond. On the first floor there is a superb modern family bathroom with a fabulous roll top bath and a quirky butlers' sink. In the original part of the house there are three good sized bedrooms including one with an attractive fireplace and the charming main bedroom with a wide bay window, a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite shower room. In the extension there are two further double bedrooms including one with an en suite shower. Outside the stone effect front driveway provides off road parking for two cars while at the rear of the property the large garden has an over ground pool and play area located in the lower section.

What the Owner says:

This has been the family's ancestral home for many generations and we thought it was going to be our ‘forever' home, which is why we have so painstakingly restored and updated it to such a very high standard. This included putting in new floor and ceiling joists, insulating under the floors and the walls and making sure the house was energy efficient with a smart thermostatically controlled central heating system as well as installing solar panels. However our plans have now changed and, although it will be a great wrench to move, we will be starting a new chapter in our lives and hope that another family will enjoy everything this amazing home can offer them.

It is a great location as we are fairly central for many of the towns, beaches and ferries. Newchurch is a delightful village that acquired its name from a ‘New Church' that was built in 1087. It includes an excellent garden centre with a café as well as the renowned Garlic Farm and the award winning Pointer Inn, where you can enjoy a drink and a meal without having to take the car out. It is close to the well-respected and popular local primary school while the bus stop is close by providing access to Newport, Shanklin and Sandown. For the more energetic, The Sustrans 23 cycle route runs through the village if you fancy a bike ride and there are also superb places to go for country walks.
