Wellow, Isle of Wight

Land size
9.7 acres

Description

A good quality modern steel framed barn located approximately 1.5 miles from the historic harbour side town of Yarmouth set within about 9.7 acres (3.9 ha) offering stunning views.

A stunning block of land extending to around 9.7 acres (3.9 ha) with a quality timber clad barn and extensive modern fencing and benefiting from magnificent views to the south, east and west. The barn would suit a variety of different uses and is located close to the centre of this sought-after village with excellent access from the main road. The land has been sectioned up into several ‘paddocks’ and has been used for grazing by a range of animals and livestock.

The property is located in the rural village of Wellow and is a short drive from Yarmouth where there are two ferry companies and a good range of amenities and services. The village of Shalfleet is around 5 minutes’ drive, and has a popular village school, shop, church, pub and access to the Newtown Nature Reserve. To the south of the barn there is a fine aspect over attractive rural fields with The Downs (hills) beyond.

The property would suit a variety of different uses, subject to planning. It is currently used for storage of agricultural equipment and livestock. There is a public footpath that runs along (just outside) the eastern boundary.

The building is steel framed and clad with timber with partial hard standing floor and concrete. It has been sympathetically timber clad with several skylight roofing panels allowing plenty of natural light into the building, with the northern elevation being open sided. To the south of the barn is a large hard standing area and there is water.

Note: Unless otherwise, agreed, the sellers would require use of the barn until September 2026. The sale will be subject to a residential overage clause of 20% over 30 years.
The buyer of this property will be given first refusal on any future sale of the adjoining strip of land that run along the entire western boundary amounting to approximately 2.6 acres (1 ha).

Tenure Freehold, with a right of way from up a track from Wellow Main Road. The property has its own gated access.
