Brading, Isle of Wight

In a picturesque setting, with views of surrounding countryside and over Sandown and Shanklin Bay, this spacious five-bedroom rural home has stables, garaging, a self contained annexe, paddocks and gardens extending over 11 acres.

A substantial family home situated in a rural and elevated setting, with splendid views over paddocks to downland and the sea. Constructed in the early 90s, Greenwood Farm benefits from plenty of open space, incorporating five generous, well-proportioned double bedrooms, two of which are en-suite. The house benefits from a new, efficient boiler and retains character and features such as timber double-glazed windows, doors and beams but now offers an ideal opportunity for renovation or modernising, with plenty of space inside and out. The former garage annexe has been reconfigured to now offer an attractive two-bedroom self-contained annexe, which currently turns over approx. £25,000 pa and more information is available via the agent.

The house overlooks its own expansive gardens and paddocks to the north, west and south, as well as far-reaching views to the sea, which make this a particularly rare and impressive package, extending in all to approximately 11.5 acres and incorporating two fenced paddocks of approx. 8 acres, a stable block, workshop and various outbuildings.

Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to the south-west of Brading, the property adjoins some spectacular downland, ideal for extensive walking and riding. Sandown and Yaverland beaches are among the most spectacular on the Island and are only 6 minutes away. There are local shops in Brading, whilst Ryde has a wide range of shops, restaurants and a well-regarded public school. Greenwood Farm is well located for numerous beaches and sailing centres, including Bembridge and Seaview.

There is excellent access to the mainland with ferry services from Ryde (within 5 miles), Fishbourne (about 7 miles) and East Cowes (11 miles).
