BEAUTIFUL HOME AND GARDENS WITH MANY SURPRISES!
An exquisite Grade II Listed DETACHED COTTAGE - originally dating back to the early 1600s - combining the charm of its historical roots with the comforts of modern living - all set within a substantial plot of just over a QUARTER OF AN ACRE, so is a real gardener's delight! The very versatile, gas centrally heated accommodation comprises 3-4 reception rooms, 3-4 BEDROOMS and 3 bath/showers as well as a modern kitchen and utility/boot rooms. Some of the many attractive features throughout include 2 staircases, original beams to ceilings, period radiators, multi-paned windows and a blend of flagstone, timber and carpeted flooring. The substantial MATURE GARDENS are a particular feature, also having a place in history - originally being opened as market gardens (with the original path/walls/pillars and the working 'Well' still in existence and offering additional charm). An EXTRA BONUS is the separate detached unit which started out as a Boathouse and now incorporates the LARGE GARAGE plus superb STUDIO over offering a multitude of uses! Located moments from the Old Town's amenities/shop/public house as well as close to rolling countryside and long stretch of beaches, Brading is also an easy 15 minutes drive to the main towns of Ryde and Newport, plus mainland ferry links. To appreciate all that is on offer at Stoneham, a visit is essential.
