FEATURED PROPERTY: GODSHILL PARK HOUSE A fine detached Grade II Listed Georgian house, stone-built and dating in parts from 1760, set in beautiful landscaped gardens and grounds in a charming, rural location. Currently arranged as a five bedroom Gentleman’s residence with adjoining three bedroom cottage and one bedroom annexe, the accommodation could be re-arranged to provide a much larger single house. There is a range of stables, garages and stores which could potentially provide further annexe/staff accommodation or letting units. The rooms are well-proportioned and retain a wealth of period features, good ceiling heights and large windows. The mature grounds provide wonderful views and a parkland setting against the backdrop of impressive countryside within the Island’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). There is easy access to a wide range of footpaths 14 www.visitilife.com “The mature grounds provide wonderful views and a parkland setting against the backdrop of impressive countryside within the Island’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty” and bridle paths providing wonderful walking and riding opportunities. The Worsley Trail and the Stenbury Trail both pass the property. The ancillary accommodation has a proven track record of generating rental income both from holiday letting and from long lets. The location is amidst farmland on the edge of the sought-after village of Godshill, with its popular restaurants, pubs, church, shops and primary school. The House is approached from the main road over a 450m long driveway (maintained by the Local Authority) and then a private drive which approaches the house through the grounds.
