Property description
Located in a slightly elevated rural position in the village of Chale, with countryside views and large mature gardens, is this 18th century detached character cottage. Traditional rural homes are rare around the island and this home itself is even rarer as it has not been out of family hands for around 47 years. You will feel an abundance of charm and character the moment you set foot in the front door of this period home, with its welcoming open fire in the living room or the roaring log burner in the dining room endearing you instantly. On the ground floor the four main rooms are a living room, snug style dining room, a cosy sitting room used as a study and a kitchen with access to the garden. The dining room features an efficient and environmentally friendly wood burner inset into the old fireplace and benefits from two windows overlooking the gardens. The living room overlooks the fields opposite and features an open fire in a brick surround with brick hearth. Off this room is a small and cosy sitting room featuring an old bread oven and stove and a workshop off. The workshop houses the oil-fired boiler has a WC off and access to the garden. Upstairs there are three double bedrooms, a bathroom with a traditional claw foot bath and a separate WC. The outlook from the upstairs windows truly highlights this home's rural position with fabulous views of the surrounding countryside. From one room you can see as far as The Needles on a clear day. The grounds are extensive and mature, mostly laid to lawn with mature shrubs and trees in abundance. There is a timber summer house, greenhouse and an established vegetable plot to enable the keen gardener to instantly start working. A gardener's dream with rural views and a feeling of privacy, this outside area transforms this simple and charming home into a desirable country retreat. Other features include driveway for multiple vehicles, covered well, downstairs WC, some double glazing and oil fired heating by radiators. Offered with vacant possession this rare gem of a home is worth a closer look to truly appreciate the location and aspect.
