What the Owner says:

This property is a charming barn conversion, nestled within a picturesque part of the Isle of Wight. The surrounding fields and countryside provide beautiful scenery, which can be particularly enjoyed from the large picture window, bedroom one and the kitchen.

Stunning sunsets are common and the location is ideal for stargazing on a clear night. Creating a firepit would not go amiss.
