4 bedroom house

Fox & Hounds Cottage
This attractive period cottage is attached and provides surprisingly spacious accommodation having been extended by the current owners. The cottage benefits from having large windows including various bifold and French doors to the rear providing light accommodation and making the most of the views. The thoughtful renovation has retained an array of period features whilst introducing modern comforts. The majority of the windows are double glazed and there is gas fired central heating.

The detached and self-contained holiday let was converted in 2018 to a high quality and has been successfully let out but also provides potential to accommodate extended family subject to the necessary consents. There is a further brick outbuilding which also has planning consent for being rebuilt as additional ancillary accommodation. The gardens are a real delight, the mature front garden enclosed by mature hedging provides private garden areas for both the holiday let and cottage with various additional terraces and seating areas to the side and rear of the cottage. The rear garden backs on to fields and panoramic country views can be enjoyed from here. There is a paddock approx. 0.6 acre as shown on the plan (and the property as a whole around 1 acre).

Chillerton is a sought-after village nestled within the downland, and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, from which great country walks can be enjoyed. The village's central location on the Island, a short drive from Carisbrooke and Newport with their array of amenities also allows easy access to all parts of the Island including the beaches of the south and west of the Island. There is a village primary school and numerous events within the community.
