Bunkers Lane, Rookley

Welcome to Highwood Barn
Coming to the market for the first time in 23 years is this unique opportunity to acquire an 18th Century barn conversion, dating back to circa 1780. It is believed that the property housed horse drawn carriages from those travelling across the island whilst neighbouring properties offered accommodation for those that were travelling and for the horses. Having been a loving family home for over two decades, this property offers farmhouse style interiors comprising an entrance hall leading through most of the ground floor providing access to the snug/games room, bedroom four, the study, the ground floor bathroom, living room, and the kitchen which leads through to the dining room, second staircase, utility/shower room, and conservatory. The stairwell from the entrance hall leads up to the first floor of one side of the house which offers three bedrooms and a bathroom. The second staircase from the dining room offers direct access to the main bedroom offering an en-suite, walk in wardrobe, and a spacious landing space. Outside are well established and beautifully manicured gardens which create a peaceful oasis to enjoy, with wonderful sound of country birds. A driveway to the front of the property offers space for multiple vehicles.
Located on the edge of the countryside in a peaceful and tranquil setting, Highwood Barn enjoys a variety of wildlife including woodpeckers, lots of birds and red squirrels which regularly visit the gardens. With a range of footpaths on your doorstep, including a route at the top of the lane that takes you on a delightful short walk to The Chequers Inn, Highwood Barn is perfectly positioned to take advantage of the beautiful surrounding countryside. The property also enjoys the benefits of being part of a small village community with a local shop just a short stroll away, and a post office. Just a short distance from the property is Rookley Country Park with a swimming pool and Newport, with its busy shops, restaurants and amenities is just a short 3.5 mile drive from this quiet location. The area is well served by buses to both Newport and the nearby pretty, coastal town of Ventnor.
