Description
Set in an extremely desirable rural village location, this well-maintained, two-bedroom cottage is full of period character and charm and is beautifully presented throughout.

Originally dating from the early Victorian era, the cottage is filled with period charm, and has been updated throughout in a sympathetic and elegant style which enhances the character of the original building. Modern features include electric heating and double glazing and the property has been reconfigured to offer a flowing layout with well proportioned, beautifully presented rooms. Accommodation comprises a welcoming porch and lobby, living room, a dining room which is open-plan to the kitchen, a cloakroom and utility area on the ground floor, with two light and airy bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor.

Located in an enviable spot surrounded by an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this characterful cottage occupies an elevated position overlooking a quiet country road and offers a fantastic opportunity for anyone wishing to own a slice of rural life. Rose Cottage is set just moments away from the ever-popular village of Niton, which has a substantial general store, a doctors surgery and a pharmacy, a primary school, and a post office which incorporates a bar and restaurant. There are also highly regarded village pubs including The White Lion and the historic Buddle Inn, favoured by smugglers in years gone by. The village is served by Southern Vectis bus route 6 which connects with Newport and Ventnor, and mainland ferry links can be found in Ryde, Fishbourne, Cowes, and Yarmouth.

Outside
The gardens wrap around the cottage on three sides. To the front, a mix of colourful borders and lawn combine with climbing plants to perfectly frame the cottage. To the side, and enclosed with a picket fence, a further lawn is surrounded by lush, mature planting which really enhances privacy. To the rear, a sandstone terrace spans the rear of the cottage, providing a wonderful outside seating or dining area. From the terrace, steps lead up to a lawn level, complete with well-established planting, high quality fencing and with the added benefit of a substantial potting shed.
