Sun Cottage, Main Road, Yarmouth
£435,000
Description
Situated within the quiet, rural location of Wellow, this charming semi-detached cottage is steeped in history and offers two double bedrooms, spacious living areas, and a beautiful garden with amazing views.
The cottage was formally known as the Sun Inn and dates back to the early 1800’s where it was the heart of the village. The pub was closed and converted into two houses in 1976. Beautifully transformed and sympathetically updated by the current owners of seven years, this charming cottage offers quirky cottage interiors as well as a rich history. The cottage boasts a fantastic mixture of period character with modern touches and comprises a small entrance hall leading to the cloakroom, living room, and also to the kitchen – diner. From here is the stairwell to the first-floor landing which provides access to two double bedrooms, the bathroom, and eaves storage area. The first floor offers spectacular views over the surrounding countryside whilst the ground floor enjoys views over the well-kept gardens to the south and west.
Located northwest of the Isle of Wight, the rural village of Wellow enjoys peace and tranquillity with the conveniences of Shalfleet located just a four-minute drive away which has a well-stocked shop supplying local produce and household essentials, a pretty church and a popular village pub, The New Inn, which has a reputation for great food. Within easy walking distance from the property, the award-winning Horse and Groom Pub is a family-friendly favourite amongst residents and visitors alike, serving delicious home-cooked meals with an extensive outside play area. Being perfectly positioned on the edge an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a network of scenic rural and coastal footpaths are on the doorstep of the property, and the unspoilt sandy beaches of Brook and Compton Bay are nearby where you can spend long relaxing days at the seaside. The seaside town of Yarmouth is located just two miles away and enjoys a great range of local shops, highly regarded pubs and restaurants, and quaint cafes. Yarmouth Harbour is home to the Wightlink car ferry terminal which connects to Lymington, and the Southern Vectis bus station is also located here providing regular transport connections across the island. Further conveniences are provided in the town of Freshwater which is only a ten-minute drive from the property and provides a further range of shops and a supermarket, schools and the West Wight Sports Centre with a swimming pool.
Welcome to Sun Cottage
Occupying a spacious corner plot with beautiful gardens wrapping around the side and rear of the property, the driveway is situated to the front with access to the front door. Alternatively, the driveway also provides access to a gate leading to a side door which also provides entry to the property.
Entrance Hall (2.01m x 1.24m (6'7" x 4'0" ))
Accessed from the driveway, this handy entrance hall provides space to store coats, shoes and muddy boots from long ambles in the countryside as well as leading to the ground floor cloakroom, and to the living room.
Cloakroom (2.68m x 1.14m (8'9" x 3'8" ))
Equipped with a w.c and a pedestal hand basin, this handy cloakroom offers neutral décor with wooden wall panelling, and a neutral vinyl floor. There is a large storage cupboard also located here, ideal for storage.
Living Room (5.66m x 4.20m (18'6" x 13'9" ))
Featuring a fantastic inglenook style fireplace with a large log burner as the focal point of this room, this large family room offers ample space for all the family as well as creating a cosy space to sit and enjoy the fire on those cold winter nights. There are two windows to the front aspect and glazed French doors to the side aspect which enjoys the afternoon sunshine. A glazed internal door from here leads to the kitchen-diner.
Kitchen - Diner (5.56m x 4.84m (18'2" x 15'10" ))
Sitting at the heart of the home, this beautiful family room is flooded with sunshine through most of the day from the two large windows to the rear, and a large window to the side aspect. The room is fitted with a range of base and wall kitchen cabinets with a beautiful French quarry tile worktop, and integrates a fridge freezer, dishwasher, a washing machine, and a large range style cooker. Adding to the country cottage charm, the kitchen also features a lovely ‘Butler’ style sink as well as a red tile surround. With ample space for a dining room table, the space also provides access to a large understairs cupboard, currently utilised as a larder, which features the water tank and recently updated electrical consumer unit. The space is finished with crisp white wall décor, and cosy wooden floorboards. The stairwell to the first floor is located here.
First Floor Landing
The carpeted stairwell leads up to the landing which provides access to the first-floor accommodation. There is also access to eaves storage here which houses the solar panel inverter and battery as well as providing plenty of additional storage. Access to the potential third bedroom would be from the landing space, which there is currently approved planning permission for.
Bedroom One (4.46m x 3.07m (14'7" x 10'0" ))
Generously proportioned and commanding stunning views over Wellow Millenium Green and beyond, this wonderful room offers ample space for bedroom furniture and is finished with wood effect flooring.

Bathroom (3.48m x 1.57m max (11'5" x 5'1" max ))

A window to the front aspect allows natural light into the space, plus there is access to the large, partially boarded loft space from here via the loft hatch.
Garden
Wrapping around the rear and side of the property and benefitting from a south facing position, this garden has been transformed and beautifully curated to a wonderful, private garden oasis. The stable door from the kitchen-diner opens onto a large patio with space for al fresco dining or a hot tub. The garden is mostly laid to lawn with well-established boarders to the sides, the recently replaced oil tank, and to the rear of the garden is a vegetable patch with a large shed. The rear garden lends itself for a large summer house or cabin, if desired, which could be utilised for investment. With power available to the rear of the garden, this outside space provides the new owners with plenty of opportunity to make their own.
Parking
The property presents a large concrete driveway to the front of the property with parking for up to three vehicles. Additionally, the patio to the side of the property has been previously tarmacked meaning there is potential for additional parking, if required by the new owners. On-road parking is also available on Main Road, if required.
Sun Cottage presents a fantastic opportunity to acquire a charming, historical two-bedroom cottage in a beautiful, rural village with well-established gardens, superb views, and driveway parking. A viewing is highly recommended with the sole agent, Susan Payne Property.
