Description:

Benefitting from an extensive refurbishment, this superb four-bedroom period cottage offers flexible accommodation complete with a stunning kitchen-diner, two bathrooms plus a cloakroom, and a generous rear garden with rural views beyond.

Nestled within a quiet village setting on the outskirts of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this characterful cottage offers a fantastic opportunity for anyone seeking a rural lifestyle within a stylish cottage offering the peace of mind that plenty of upgrades have been recently undertaken. Dating back to 1820, this appealing property has been extended over the years with the most recent single-storey extension created by the current owner to offer a desirable open plan kitchen-diner with a fabulous roof lantern and bifold doors to the rear garden, providing an abundance of natural light and a seamless connection with the outdoor space. The Mount has been brought beautifully up to date with contemporary style offering a neutral colour palette and high-quality finishes throughout while retaining characterful features of an original cottage. The result is a welcoming and stylish home which also benefits from a range of other significant upgrades such as a central heating system, facias and soffits, replacement floor joists, rewiring and double glazing where required. Outside offers a generous rear garden with fantastic countryside views beyond and has been designed to offer two paved seating terraces complete with an original well which the owners are creating into an illuminated garden feature. To the front of the property is a driveway for up to three vehicles with pretty garden areas on either side.

Situated within this enviable rural village location, The Mount enjoys beautiful far-reaching countryside views from the rear elevation all the way to St Catherine’s Oratory on a clear day. The cottage is very well-connected to surrounding rural footpaths and is just a few minutes walk away to the village which provides a good general store, a doctors surgery and a pharmacy, a primary school, and a post office which incorporates a bar and restaurant. There are also highly regarded village pubs including The White Lion and The historic Buddle Inn, favoured by smugglers in years gone by. The nearby Southern coastline of the island is truly spectacular, appealing to those who want to enjoy the surfing and paragliding on offer, as well as outstanding walking terrain from the historic St. Catherine’s Lighthouse with the Buddle Inn providing a perfect spot for relaxing after exploring the rugged landscape. Located within a ten-minute drive from the property is the bustling seaside resort of Ventnor which provides a whole range of amenities including boutique shops, fine eateries and supermarkets. Ventnor is renowned for its unique microclimate, golden beach and bustling arts scene with the award-winning Ventnor Fringe Festival that takes place every summer and Ventnor Botanical Gardens which contains rare, subtropical plants and trees which thrive on this sunny south coast of the island.

Providing a great solution for a multi-generational household or those with older children, the accommodation could be arranged as two independent living spaces, each with a separate staircase providing access to bedroom accommodation on adjacent sides of the property.
