Description
A substantial and modernised coastal home occupying an elevated position with sensational views over the English Channel and the Island's south coast set in approximately 13.4 acres.
Saeter - Situated in a secluded position on the southern coast of the island, affording great privacy and dominated by the stunning views, the property is approached by a private gated driveway. This substantial property of around 5,800 sq ft is surrounded by its own land, extending to around 13.4 acres, that extends to the cliff edge. There are a good range of outbuildings as well as a modern double garage, ample parking and an impressive pool house with indoor swimming pool and extensive terraces both inside and out making the most of the views.
The village of Chale has a pub and Church within walking distance, the nearby village of Niton in approximately 2 miles away and has a local shop, a post office/ bar, pharmacy, primary school and two pubs. The property is within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the southwestern coast has a range of beaches and superb coastal walks, (with the coastal path immediately accessible from the property).
The property benefits from particularly light and spacious accommodation with really well-proportioned principal rooms whilst making the most of the stunning south westerly views, including year round sun sets. The accommodation extends over three floors, (between which there is modern lift access) with attic rooms above. The current owners carried out extensive works to modernise the house including some re-configuration, installation of new double glazed windows and doors, replacement of cladding with Canadian Cedar with Celotex insulation beneath and fitting solar PV panels with battery storage. In addition a new 'Scavolini' kitchen with high quality appliances and new bathrooms were fitted. There are an extensive range of outbuildings including a large pool house and barn which together with the adjacent paddocks provides a wonderful all round package. Due to its coastal position whilst the house has insurance for subsidence and land slip, it is unlikely to be mortgageable.
