A charming period cottage set in a highly attractive position with fantastic country views set in approximately half an acre
Great Whitcombe Cottage
Originating as a pair of cottages, this handsome building is listed grade II, and provides spacious accommodation with a range of period features. With views across open countryside to both the front and rear, the property provides a secluded and private setting in the midst of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, whilst being within around a mile of Carisbrooke with its local shop and schools whilst Newport provides a wider range of facilities.
The cottage would benefit from a degree of repair and renovation but has great potential. Parts of the external stonework are in need of repair and the boot room is a basic structure also in need of repair/ replacement. The two attic rooms were converted some time ago, now providing storage and requiring renovation.
