Although you have to look hard to find this stunning home, amid
delightful gardens in picturesque Godshill, its quality finish, attention to detail and spacious nature are instantly evident.

Tucked away off the High Street and with rear views to the hilltop village church, Homestead is an immaculate blend of modern-day amenities with the character of yesteryear.
The roomy and comfortable ten-year-old detached house was beautifully designed by an architect, with lots of input from the owners.
Downstairs is elegant, superbly flowing space, with the first floor including four double bedrooms.
Underfloor heating warms both floors.
Among many features making it such a class act are heavy American white oak doors, bespoke built-in cupboards and a gorgeous ash staircase, which is the centrepiece of the large entrance hall.
Adding to the plentiful visual appeal are sloping upstairs ceilings, large leaded-light windows, a big galleried landing and immaculate, tasteful neutral decor throughout. Pale plain walls are complemented by stone-coloured floor tiling downstairs and in the bathrooms and pristine cream carpet upstairs.
A five-bar gate opens to the gravelled front drive, leading to a double garage with two electric doors and bordered by shrubs and flowers in beds interspersed with paths and seating areas.
The secluded back garden — another easy to look after area — is also attractively landscaped with lots of planting in beds, some of them raised. Lawn, two tall fir trees and two sheds also feature and a stone terrace stretches beyond the dining area.
Off the entrance hall is a WC, a door to the garage, a door to the kitchen area and glazed double doors to the capacious sitting room, which has a large square front bay window and a window overlooking the leafy side garden.
A stone fireplace houses a wood-burner and a walkway leads to the airy dining space, with access to the terrace and a bay window with a garden view.
Bespoke Shaker-style units in soft green and granite worksurfaces are fitted in the rear-facing kitchen, which is well appointed with an induction hob, double oven and integrated dishwasher and fridge-freezer.
The L-shaped utility room has matching units, plumbing for a washing machine, a WC leading off it and a door to a rear-facing study.
In the shower room off the front-facing landing are stone-style floor tiles and part-height wall tiles, the same as those in the other bathrooms.
Huge bedroom one, with village views through front and rear windows, has a luxuriously appointed en-suite bathroom with a freestanding bath as well as a shower, bidet, WC and handbasin.
Front-facing bedroom two has an en-suite bathroom, while bedrooms three and four have delightful rear views, taking in the church.
