Harbors Lake Lane, Newchurch, Sandown, Isle Of Wight, PO36

A wonderful lifestyle opportunity is presented in the sale of this secluded country home set within approximately 7.57 acres of picturesque grounds. This exceptional property comprises a well-appointed detached farmhouse, a separate three-bedroom cottage, and a distinctive holiday letting business known as “Under the Stars.” In addition, the sale features multiple outbuildings, stables, and paddocks, offering an ideal combination of residential, equestrian, and commercial opportunities. Located on the outskirts of Newchurch Village, this property enjoys a peaceful setting while remaining conveniently close to local amenities. Accessed via country lane, a quiet location off the public highway, the property also benefits from a secondary entrance via Watery Lane, which provides additional vehicle access to the south paddock and farmhouse through a five-bar gate. At the heart of the estate is the charming, detached farmhouse, built in the early 1930s. This well-proportioned home is surrounded by private gardens and grounds, including a former grass tennis court. The property seamlessly blends period character with modern conveniences, offering flexible living space for family life or potential multi-generational accommodation.

Beyond the farmhouse, the setting continues to impress. The gardens and immediate grounds surrounding both the main house and the cottage, providing beautifully landscaped spaces for outdoor enjoyment. A key feature of the property is its unique holiday letting business, “Under the Stars.” This thriving enterprise comprises two bespoke Shepherds Huts, each offering a charming retreat set within 5.57 acres of pastureland. Thoughtfully designed, these oak-framed huts rest on traditional cast iron-wheeled bases and are fully equipped with a double bed, kitchenette, shower room, and private outdoor seating area with BBQ facilities. Positioned off the main driveway, the estate's three-bedroom timber-framed cottage was thoughtfully designed and constructed in 2020 by the current owners. Importantly, the property is located outside the Isle of Wight National Landscape designation and is not listed, offering flexibility for future development. With existing planning permission in place for further Shepherds Huts and agricultural barns.

What the Owner says:

We have loved living at this property for almost nine years, with our two young children attending local schools initially, it has been a perfect lifestyle for us all. We have renovated the Farmhouse over the years, and followed a dream to start our own glamping business, build a holiday let and barn buildings to expand in the future, manage the land, complete furniture restoration projects, acquired sheep and chickens, we have achieved so much it is very much the 'The Good Life.'

We have travelled an amazing journey to reach this point and there is still so much opportunity for the next owners to expand if they wish, with already agreed planning approval as well as the opportunity to create a holiday let income, whilst managing a glamping business if so desired. We will be so sad to leave our beautiful home with great neighbours, however our needs have changed, heading towards retirement with less need for so much space and land, it is time for another family to make special memories here.
