A SWEEPING gravel driveway leads to the handsome Mead Cottage, standing in almost three acres of land.

This Yafford home has been finished with striking local stone and is believed to date back to about 1780.

The land with Mead Cottage comprises roughly 2.73 acres; more than two acres of this are paddock, which has its own convenient vehicular access from Mill Lane.

Yafford is a pretty hamlet within the West Wight’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and close to our famed Jurrasic and heritage coastline with outstanding walks.

Shorwell and Brighstone villages are nearby.

Views are plentiful here both, the front and back of the property. Outside there is a large amount of level land with a brook/drainage ditch along the southern boundary, plenty of parking and a turning area, as well as the auxiliary entrance to the garden on the north side.

The gardens are a big draw. Mature hedges divide the front and conceal a secret garden consisting of a vegetable garden and greenhouse. Within the grounds is also an orchard to the east end of the property.

Attached to the house is a double garage which has been divided into a single garage to one side and a utility room to the other, with access to the house and back garden.

The entrance porch has parquet flooring and leads to a dining hall, an inner lobby cloakroom, utility room and garage. There is a double-aspect sitting room, also with parquet flooring, a drawing room or dining hall with a large fireplace, spiral staircase and doors into the conservatory, in turn leading to the patio and garden. Completing the ground floor is the solid oak bespoke kitchen with stunning views over your land to the west and north towards the downs.

The first floor has four bedrooms, with great views, two with built-in wardrobes and one with an en-suite shower room and built-in wardrobe. There is also a bathroom with a separate shower and bath, as well as an airing cupboard.
