HISTORY
The Old House Bucks Farm is the original farmhouse, parts of which date back some 200 years. The surrounding farm buildings have been sympathetically developed to form a small community set in an idyllic rural landscape of breathtaking country views and with adjacent bridlepath walks. Built of original island stone with thick walls, the Old House Bucks Farm has been lovingly renovated into the comfortable family home with everything that modern day living requires.

LOCATION
The Old House Bucks Farm is situated down a private lane off Kingston Road, a few minutes’ drive from Shorwell and Brighstone, where basic amenities can be found. Ferry connections to the mainland are located at Yarmouth (to Lymington), Fishbourne (to Portsmouth) and East Cowes (to Southampton).

THE PROPERTY
The property sits slightly raised up with steps down to the garden from the front door and south facing terrace. The interiors offer luxury and comfort with underfloor heating in the bathroom, double glazing, bespoke carpentry and premium fixtures and fittings throughout. Both inside and out, The Old House Bucks Farm is a perfect home for entertaining.

To the side of the farmhouse is a generous gravelled driveway providing parking for several vehicles, with additional right of parking in courtyard, and complemented by a detached garage.

The gardens are a notable feature, extending to the side and rear of the property. An extensive area of formal lawn is interspersed with established flower and shrub borders, creating an attractive and well maintained setting. The south facing terrace provides a stunning seating and entertainment area in summer. To the side of the garden, a west facing paved terrace with timber pergola provides an additional seating and entertainment area, with the gardens beyond blending into a more natural tree-lined backdrop, enhancing privacy and rural feel. The property enjoys beautiful open views across surrounding countryside and St Catherine’s Down in the distance which may be appreciated from both the gardens and terrace.
