Main Road, Wellow, Yarmouth

LOCATION
Mount Place is located in Wellow, a small rural village in West Wight, with stunning views of the countryside and Brook Downs to the South. The historic harbour town of Yarmouth, approximately two and a half miles away, offers an excellent range of independent shops, cafés and restaurants, sailing facilities and direct mainland ferry connections. In nearby Shalfleet, the picturesque quayside and the wider Newtown National Nature Reserve provide a network of footpaths, bridleways and countryside trails for country and coastal walking, riding, running and cycling etc. Mount Place is ideally suited to those seeking a country lifestyle without compromising accessibility.

THE PROPERTY
Believed to date from 1895, Mount Place is an impressive Victorian country residence with an Edwardian front extension providing the main reception room and main bedroom and further, more recent additions included as part of a comprehensive refurbishment.

The property retains many of the characteristics associated with a country house of the period, open fireplaces, high ceilings, square-bay window etc. The internal spaces are light and bright and provide well proportioned accommodation with fine views across the gardens and neighbouring farmland. In the last five years a substantial programme of improvement works has transformed the property into a stylish home
equipped for modern family living. Of particular note is the addition of a single-storey extension creating a superb contemporary kitchen and dining space.

The following have also been recently completed: a newly tiled roof, new porches at the front and rear, a lean-to roof over the terrace with oak and brick struts, new external facias and drainpipes and repointing of the entire house.

Outside the gardens and grounds have been extensively landscaped to provide a large garden, ample gravelled parking and a beautiful separate wood clad building incorporating a garage, workshops and a wonderful sunroom overlooking the field at the rear of the property.

Mount Place occupies an elevated position within its (approx.) two-acre plot.The front garden enjoys a sunny south-facing aspect and is principally laid to lawn with gravelled driveway and parking in front of the house.

The front garden is enclosed in part by a mature beech hedge which provides both privacy and character, parting in the centre where there is a picket gate with archway over. To the rear, the extensive lawned gardens spread northwards crossing seamlessly into the adjacent field and beyond, becoming part of the stunning countryside backdrop, a superb setting for outdoor life at this property. Trees in the gardens include a row of beech trees at the front and apple, pear, fig, plum and magnolia to the rear.

Included in the list of external refurbishments competed in recent years are a redesigned and laid driveway, extensive field fencing, installation of a buried gas tank, replacement sewage treatment plant and a comprehensive system of French drains.

OUTBUILDINGS
Positioned within the southern corner of the field is a substantial detached outbuilding with attractive larch cladding to blend with its rural surroundings. This is currently used as a single open- bay garage, glaze-fronted sunroom with wood burning stove, workshop space and storeroom. Benefitting from power and water mains connections, the building offers the potential for a wide variety of uses (with the correct permissions). There is an attached log store on the west side of the house with wood door (originally an outdoor toilet).
