Brighstone, Isle of Wight

An exceptional and highly versatile large family home with income from two high standard rental cottages set in 5.5 acres of land with fabulous equestrian facilities including paddocks, stables, storage barns and a sand school.

This impressive property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a complete lifestyle package, perfectly suited to those with equestrian interests. The main house sits within formal grounds and provides generously proportioned accommodation throughout. A spacious and welcoming reception hall leads into a superb kitchen/breakfast room, which in turn connects to both a large living room and a charming sitting room with an open fireplace, flowing seamlessly into a garden/sun room. A useful cloakroom with adjoining shower room links through to a substantial utility area, formerly part of an integral double garage and a boot room sits to one side of the property, ideal for storing muddy boots, workwear and accommodating pets. Upstairs, three generous double bedrooms enjoy attractive views over the surrounding countryside and share a Jack-and-Jill family bathroom. A door from the landing also leads into a substantial loft area, offering excellent potential for conversion if desired (subject to the necessary permissions and regulatory approvals). Adjoining the main house is a self-contained one-bedroom annexe with its own private courtyard style garden. This space connects internally to the main property and could be easily incorporated into the principal accommodation if desired. Outside, the block-paved driveway provides ample parking and turning space for several vehicles and is bordered by a formal lawn with well-planted beds and borders. To the rear, a more formal garden features a superb entertaining terrace with a veranda overhang, finished with composite decking and paving. The lawns extend to a productive vegetable and fruit garden on one side and open through to an additional area of garden known as the orchard.

A charming former coach house/stable building has been thoughtfully converted into two delightful two-bedroom holiday cottages, each with a private courtyard garden and a proven track record of generating a strong income. Complementing these are a timber L-shaped block of storage barns and a stable as well as a separate laundry and garden WC. The main house, annexe and holiday cottages all benefit from full residential permissions, making the property ideally suited to a multi-generational family wishing to live together while enjoying independent spaces.

In addition, The Yard provides excellent dedicated equestrian facilities, including a block of barn stables with tack room and hay barn. Beyond this lies an enclosed sand school and a selection of paddocks with outbuildings and shelters. The paddocks also benefit from separate access off Chilton Lane if required. The Yard is currently rented out and provides an additional income.
