Bembridge, Isle Of Wight, PO35

An attractive and exceptionally well-appointed barn conversion holiday home nestled in stunning countryside on the outskirts of Bembridge with glorious views, gardens and a pedigree for generating holiday let income.

This beautiful stone barn has been expertly remodelled into a four bedroom holiday home with impressive open plan family space and a host of unique original period features. Stanwell Farm originates from the early 1700's whilst the barn was converted from a traditional farm outbuilding in 2012 and converted to domestic use as a holiday home and has been operating as a holiday let, yielding an attractive return. The Barn offers an ideal luxury getaway for gathering family with an incredible 15 metre long open plan living room with vaulted ceilings in addition to four bedrooms, three of which being excellent doubles and three bathrooms.

It is also located within 5-10minutes walk of three country pubs and is particularly unique because it is situated approximately 1 mile from the local village of Bembridge with its family run butchers, caf?, fishmongers, farm shop, eco refill shop, pubs and convenience store. There are also two sailing clubs nearby and access to the sandy beaches and harbour walks of Bembridge nearby.
