With origins believed to date back to 17th Century, Brading House is a beautifully formed historic house with all of its original period character and unique features. Located in the center of Brading with origins as a drapery, it’s modest exterior of island stone elevations encapsulate a deceptively spacious interior filled with remarkable character including original beams, floors and carpentry. The house has now been sympathetically renovated and modernised to provide a stylish and particularly comfortable family home currently serving as a holiday home and also a holiday let with five star feedback and achieving up to £20,000 per annum gross.

The town of Brading is well appointed and benefits from a school, shops, public houses and train station which connects to Ryde Pier Head. There are many local walks across the Downs or the protected RSPB marsh lands including the ‘Walk-the-Wight’ route passing close to the house where walkers ascend onto Brading Downs on their 26mile annual charity walk in May from Bembridge to The Needles. The seaside village of Bembridge with its sandy beaches is a short drive away. Bembridge boasts incredible views across The Solent and English Channel and is surrounded by miles of down land perfect for countryside walks. Bembridge Harbour has extensive mooring facilities and two sailing clubs and creates a bustling atmosphere with fishing boats and pleasure craft. The town of Ryde is also a short drive with its numerous amenities, schools and high speed (22mins) links to the mainland.
