Lot 1 – Little East Standen Manor
A charming period Manor House of Jacobean origins steeped in history and retaining a wide array of period features, situated in an elevated position within delightful mature gardens and a southerly aspect. The house is Listed Grade II and been in the same ownership since the 1960s and elements would now benefit from modernisation. The gardens form an idyllic setting with lawns, a diverse array of mature trees, well established borders and a swimming pool.
To the west of the house is the impressive range of period buildings, also Listed Grade II, including threshing barn, round house, stables, workshop, stores and garaging, whilst in addition are a range of more modern farm buildings and stable yard. The property benefits from being enclosed within its own land, surrounded by fields of pasture with Lot 1 extending to just under 42 acres, with an additional three lots providing a further 67 acres of adjoining pasture and woodland. A successful livery business has been run from the farm complemented by a sandschool.
Set amidst rolling farmland, the farm benefits from a particularly attractive rural setting within the National Landscape, (formerly known as the AONB) with good walks and riding in the surrounding countryside, whilst there is also good access to mainland ferry links at nearby Fishbourne, Ryde and East Cowes. Good shopping facilities in Newport, including Marks & Spencers, is a short drive along a picturesque lane. The relatively central location on the island also means the diverse coastline, with its array of beaches and bays as well as world renowned sailing, can all readily be enjoyed.
