Easton Lane, Freshwater, PO40 9QR

The property is within the Isle of Wight Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty tucked away within attractive established and substantial grounds of approximately one acre.

This property was built in 1984 using local iow stone with brick detailing and slate roof.

Individually designed with considerable attention to detail, the property blends traditional charm with the benefits of modern construction, creating a timeless residence that feels both warm and enduring.

Set back from the lane, it offers a rare combination of privacy, character and direct access to unspoilt natural surroundings.

The mature, part walled garden of this property also extends down to the Afton Marsh Local Nature Reserve, separated only by the stream as the Yar travels through the reeds.

This reserve forms part of the Freshwater Marshes, a protected Site of Special Scientific Interest, (sssi) providing a tranquil and nature-rich boundary to the property.

This property is entered through a gate in the original stone boundary wall with attached C19 century granary store on staddle stones.

The wall is viewed from the kitchen and benefits from mature wisteria and rose planting.

Stepping inside, the welcoming reception hall sets The tone, with an impressive oak cross beam, quarry tiled flooring and a striking brick and decorative cast iron fireplace.

A feature window with coloured glass illuminates the staircase. There is also a ground floor WC and washbasin.

The principal living spaces are inviting, each enjoying tranquil views across the rear gardens.

Exposed beams and traditional fireplaces add depth and character, with the sitting room's wood-burning stove, making for perfect cosy evenings.

The dining room flows effortlessly into the kitchen, creating an ideal layout for both entertaining and everyday family life.

At the heart of the home lies a generous kitchen and breakfast area, thoughtfully designed with a charming bay window, a stable door and a feature chimney housing a cream electric aga.

Outside, the grounds are tranquil, offering a sense of seclusion and connection to nature rarely found.

Mature planting, sunny lawns, a pond and a partly walled vegetable garden create a series of interesting outdoor spaces, while a wooded area at the boundary leads directly down to the stream of the nature reserve.

At the front of the property, secluded behind the stone wall, the York stone patio is a sun trap and a favourite dining spot on warm days.

What the Owner says: The this property plot was acquired, and the house built by our family in the early 1980s, remaining in our care ever since.

Our parents, who grew up in the West Wight, chose this location for its peaceful, natural surroundings, with their favourite coastal and downland walks right on the doorstep.

Having local facilities like the doctors, supermarket, school and leisure centre all within easy reach has meant that our home has felt part of the community and with Orchards, the village grocers and newsagent in Gate Lane, we have always been able to just ‘nip up the shop'.

We also enjoy walking down to the bay for a drink either in the Albion Hotel or the Travelling Tavern Bus Bar!

This convenient setting proved especially valuable for Mum, who was able to enjoy daily walks to the garden centre café and the beach well into her nineties.

Our visitors from the mainland find this property easy to reach, whether travelling by car or on foot.

The journey to Yarmouth ferry terminal—by a pleasant walk and short bus ride—takes less than half an hour. The property has remained the same since it was built, with no alterations or extensions.

While we appreciate that this property would benefit from twenty first century updating, for us it has been a much loved home and place to live.

We hope its next owners will take pleasure in shaping this property into their own haven, as we sadly leave ours.
