Greenwood House is located in one of the beautiful parts of the Isle of Wight, amongst this rugged section of forest-lined coastline that is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There is lose by access to the Coastal Footpath and is a short drive to the historic harbour town of Yarmouth with its regular vehicular ferry link and boating facilities with two sailing clubs. The Islands only National Nature Reserve at Newtown Creek (National Trust) is two miles east of the property and a few minutes’ drive and offers impressive coastal marshland with world class bird watching. The principal town of Newport is around a 15-minute drive to the east. Shalfleet Village shop is the nearest convenience store – the village also has a well-regarded village school, two pubs and a church.
This significant detached house has been the subject of an extensive redevelopment program that’s been carried out to a high standard by the current owners which now offers multiple large living spaces with masses of natural light. The property delivers breath-taking coastal and country views across The Solent to the New Forest National Park, just three miles to the North. All the principal rooms enjoy fabulous views from newly fitted, high-end windows and doors.
Set across 4 levels, the property has been professionally modernised to an exceptionally high standard. The relatively secluded position delivers inspirational sea-views and circa 7,000 sq. ft of accommodation, garaging and storage. Greenwood House sits perfectly in a fairly central position within the plot which extends to approximately 5.7 acres (2.3ha). There are two sweeping driveways leading to the house and fine recently laid and perfectly manicured lawns. Numerous majestic oak trees give the property privacy and a parkland setting feel but also deliver superb wind shelter belts.
