Description
Equestrian Facilities & Land
This property is perfectly equipped for equestrian use. A large, modern barn houses six generous stalls and includes power and water connections. Across the courtyard, part of the stables have been converted into a practical office, ideal for managing livery or running an equestrian business. Adjacent, lies an open barn and two additional stables—well-suited for tack, feed or additional shelter.
Little Gatcombe Farm - Tucked away in the sought-after village of Gatcombe, Little Gatcombe Farm is a rare and versatile offering. Surrounded by panoramic rural views in an AONB, the farmhouse is a little over 25 years old and blends comfort with country charm.
Interior - Constructed in 1999 and thoughtfully designed for flexible living, the farmhouse at Little Gatcombe Farm provides well-balanced accommodation across two floors. A generous porch welcomes you, with space to shed coats and boots after countryside walks. The ground floor includes a substantial triple-aspect sitting room with countryside views and a feature inglenook fireplace housing a wood-burning stove. From here, French doors open into a sizeable conservatory—once a successful tearoom—offering panoramic views over the land and its own independent entrance for guests.
The well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room boasts ample cabinetry, generous workspace and room for a large family table. A separate reception room—currently used as a fifth bedroom—enjoys dual-aspect views and could serve as a formal dining room or home office. Completing the ground floor is a cloakroom/utility space with room for laundry appliances.
Upstairs, four spacious double bedrooms are arranged around a central landing. Three benefit from en-suite shower rooms, while a modern family bathroom serves the fourth. The layout lends itself well to the B&B model or extended family living.

The grounds extend to 24 acres in total with formal gardens, mature boundaries, and uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside.
Location - Gatcombe is a peaceful and picturesque village located just outside the county town of Newport. A sought-after spot for nature lovers and equestrians alike, the area offers superb riding and walking routes through rolling hills and woodland. Despite its rural feel, Little Gatcombe Farm is conveniently placed within 5 minutes of Newport’s amenities and no more than 25 minutes from any point on the Island—including ferry terminals, beaches, and schools.
