Property description
Recently upgraded and extended, the cottage provides an enviable opportunity to purchase a beautifully presented home with a fantastic layout, complete with large wraparound gardens and a self-contained summer chalet.
Originally constructed in the 1930s and skilfully updated and extended by the current owners of 18 years, Jestynah Cottage is immaculately presented, with a fabulous combination of fresh neutral décor and high-quality finishes. The spacious accommodation has a flexible, flowing layout perfectly suited to modern living, with the abundance of glazing creating a light, bright ambience throughout. The flexibility of accommodation is further enhanced by the self-contained summer chalet in the garden, which already benefits from a WC and has the plumbing in place to create a full bathroom.
This cottage is tucked away on a quiet lane, and also benefits from being nearby to village amenities, including a highly regarded pub, a garage and a convenient post office located in the local church. The local pub, the White Horse Inn, has a good reputation for food and is reputed to be the oldest free house on the Isle of Wight, first recorded as a public house in 1454. Whitwell has many footpaths and bridleways running through it, offering access to wonderful country walks; outside the pub is a milestone for the Yar trail route that finishes in Bembridge where the Yar River flows into the harbour. Just over three miles away is the traditional seaside resort of Ventnor where you can take advantage of the island's southernmost golden beach, a range of boutique shops, fine eateries and supermarkets as well as the delightful Victorian Promenade. Additionally, the popular village of Niton is about a five-minute drive away which provides a great range of facilities including local schools at pre-school and primary level, a well-stocked convenience store, a post office, a medical centre and a pharmacy. Southern Vectis bus route 6 links Whitwell with the towns of Newport and Ventnor, including intermediate villages.
Accommodation is all on one level and comprises a welcoming entrance porch, an open plan kitchen/diner, a bathroom, two inner halls, open plan lounge and snug, a spacious sunroom, conservatory, and three good-size bedrooms, two of which are ensuite. Outside, the large gardens wraparound the property and are home to an open plan summer chalet, perfect for overflow accommodation, plus there is a driveway and garage.
