Description
A rare opportunity to rent a charming period cottage situated in a picturesque village with downland views. With flexible accommodation and a good sized garden, the property is available for a Long Let from mid April onwards.
Fox & Hounds Cottage - This attractive period cottage is attached and provides surprisingly spacious accommodation having been extended in recent years. The cottage benefits from having large windows and various bifold and French doors to the rear providing light accommodation and making the most of the views. The thoughtful renovation has retained an array of period features whilst introducing modern comforts. The majority of the windows are double glazed and there is (LPG) gas fired central heating.
The gardens are a real delight, the front garden enclosed by mature hedging provides a private garden area with various additional terraces and seating areas to the side and rear of the cottage. The rear garden backs on to fields and panoramic country views can be enjoyed from here.
Chillerton is a sought-after village nestled within the downland, and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, from which great country walks can be enjoyed. The village's central location on the Island, a short drive from Carisbrooke and Newport with their array of amenities also allows easy access to all parts of the Island including the beaches of the south and west of the Island.

The parking space in front of the annex must always be reserved for its occupants.
