Property description
Situated on the outskirts of the village of Godshill and thought to date from the early 1500s, Grade II listed Bagwich House enjoys an elevated position on Bagwich Lane. Forming a charming country estate comprising a four bedroom historic period house, two holiday cottages, detached two bedroom annexe, barn, gardens and paddocks amassing to approximately 6.3 acres.
Of Island stone construction, the former Yeomans house has been extended throughout the centuries. Both the main home and holiday cottages are immaculate and have been painstakingly renovated to an extremely high specification, whilst retaining many period and historic features such as stone fireplaces, attractive stone mullioned windows with solid oak framed double glazing windows throughout, beamed ceilings and solid oak doors.
Approached via an electronic gate and gravelled drive from Bagwich Lane the house enjoys a southerly aspect within a charming walled garden. The far reaching views from the house and grounds look across the village of Godshill to the Arreton valley, with the Appuldurcombe monument on Stenbury downs in the foreground.
