Shanklin Road, Sandford

Welcome to Pound Farmhouse
Believed to date back to the mid 1800s, this charming farmhouse once formed part of a large farm and has been significantly extended over the years to create an incredibly versatile family home including a beautiful two-bedroom annex, a two-bedroom garden log cabin, and a commercial outbuilding; all of which offer plenty of potential to create multiple income sources. Naturally, the property would suit a multi-generational family or those with adult children who are seeking harmonious, independent living arrangements that ensure privacy and comfort for all.
Beautifully styled and much-improved by the current owners, the main home retains its traditional period charm featuring exposed old stone walls, flagstone flooring, and a traditional inglenook fireplace. With a spacious entrance hall at the heart of the home, the accommodation provides three flexible reception rooms currently offering a dual aspect sitting room, a dining room connecting with the garden, and a snug featuring a recently installed log burning stove. The ground floor also provides a convenient utility/cloakroom, and a traditional galley-style kitchen which has recently been upgraded with modern cabinetry complete with integrated appliances. Providing extra convenience for modern family life, there is a well-presented shower room on the ground floor and a spacious, recently created bathroom on the first floor which serves two spacious double-sized bedrooms.
Accessed via an internal lobby from the main home, the single-storey attached annex provides the option to be incorporated as part of the main home or has an independent entrance from the generous gravel driveway at the front of the home. Again, providing beautifully presented spaces, the annex alone offers a good-sized home with a spacious living room, a kitchen (currently without an oven), two double bedrooms with one benefitting from an en-suite shower room, and a separate bathroom which has recently been upgraded.
Furthermore, a garden log cabin is currently operated as a successful holiday let and offers a charming Scandinavian-style with its cosy timber interiors. Providing single-storey accommodation, the cabin comprises a spacious porch overlooking the established gardens, a large living space with an open aspect to a kitchen, two double-sized bedrooms, and a large well-presented wet room.
Equally as special, outside offers a generous, beautifully established garden featuring spacious green lawn areas and a variety of mature fruit trees. The garden provides additional outbuildings including a substantial workshop, a storage shed, and a large commercial outbuilding which was formerly run as a successful cattery business. This generous outbuilding could provide a multitude of purposes and the current owners have had plans drawn up to create a two-bedroom house (subject to planning), which are available upon request.
Situated within the quaint hamlet of Sandford, Pound Farmhouse sits on the outskirts of the quintessentially English village of Godshill with its characterful thatched-roofed cottages, and a winding main street lined with traditional tearooms. Godshill offers a whole host of local amenities including a local school, a doctors surgery, highly regarded pubs and restaurants, a range of shops, and a post office. Sanford is also conveniently located just a short drive to the beautiful golden beaches of Ventnor and Shanklin, as well as the county town of Newport; all of which offer plenty of amenities including High Street shops, supermarkets, and highly regarded eateries. The property also benefits from a convenience shop at a local garage just a short stroll away and is well-connected to a wide range of footpaths and bridleways, providing stunning walking and cycling opportunities through the countryside. Additionally, Sandford is served by Southern Vectis bus routes 2 and 3 providing regular connections to Newport and Ryde.
