Great Whitcombe Manor Farm, Whitcombe Road

Great Whitcombe Manor Farm
Great Whitcombe Manor Farm comprises an attractive and versatile holding with agricultural land and a diverse range of farm buildings. Set within a peaceful rural yet accessible location, the land supports arable cropping and pasture, with woodland adding amenity and biodiversity interest.

The farmyard includes both modern steel-portal barns and traditional stone buildings, positioned just off Whitcombe Road.

Situation
Great Whitcombe Manor Farm occupies a peaceful but easily accessible rural position on the outskirts of Newport, the County Town of the Isle of Wight, and sits within an attractive area of undulating countryside. Accessed directly from Whitcombe Road, the property enjoys a sense of privacy while remaining highly convenient for the Island’s central transport routes.

The farm is only a short drive from Newport’s extensive range of amenities, including shops, restaurants, supermarkets, schools and services, making it well placed for both lifestyle and commercial farming needs.

Ferry services from Cowes, Fishbourne, Ryde and Yarmouth provide frequent connections to Lymington, Portsmouth and Southampton, enabling straightforward mainland access for machinery, livestock transport, or commuting
