Description

Nestled in the heart of the charming village of Havenstreet, this home is a truly exceptional period property that blends timeless character with contemporary luxury. Constructed nearly 200 years ago from local stone and originally built as workers’ cottages for the historic Fleming Estate, this striking home has served many roles throughout its life—including time as a wheelwright’s cottage and a village inn—before being transformed into the beautifully appointed family residence it is today. Positioned proudly on the corner of Main Road and Church Road, this double-fronted home offers generous proportions, immaculately finished interiors, and an elegant yet practical layout tailored to modern living. The home has been extensively upgraded in recent years, with no detail overlooked. Key updates include brand-new exterior windows and doors, a newly installed boiler and radiators, and the addition of a spectacular kitchen and utility room within a thoughtfully designed extension. The ground floor flows effortlessly through a series of welcoming and versatile spaces, including a spacious entrance hall, an open-plan living and sitting room filled with natural light, and a flexible study/snug area with French doors opening to the garden. The stunning kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring a vaulted ceiling with skylights, stylish cabinetry, a large island, and high-end appliances, all underpinned by underfloor heating. Completing the ground floor are a practical utility room and a stylish cloakroom. Upstairs, the first floor continues the home’s blend of period charm and modern comfort. The principal bedroom enjoys panoramic views over the treetops of Firestone Copse, while two further well-proportioned bedrooms offer lovely outlooks over the gardens and surrounding countryside. The family shower room has been tastefully refurbished with elegant tiling, a large walk-in shower, and quality fittings throughout. Outside, the cottage is equally impressive. A wide gravel driveway behind traditional wooden gates offers ample parking, while the landscaped gardens wrap around the property to provide both sunny and shaded spots for outdoor relaxation. Stone terraces on either side of the home are perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining, and the elevated lawn leads to a picturesque summer house—an ideal retreat for peaceful afternoons. Set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Havenstreet offers the quintessential village lifestyle, with the beloved White Hart Inn, heritage steam railway, and scenic walking trails all just moments away. Despite its rural setting, Hill Cottage enjoys convenient access to the vibrant coastal town of Ryde, with its boutique shops, schools, beaches, and high-speed mainland links. With its rich history, stunning presentation, and enviable location, Hill Cottage presents a rare opportunity to own a truly special home in one of the Isle of Wight’s most desirable villages.
