BUZZARD BARN

Situated in an attractive, rural setting, within the Isle of Wight’s National Landscape, (formerly Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) Buzzard Barn forms part of Bunts Hill Farm. Set around a third of a mile from the village of Porchfield with its public house it is also close to the Newtown Nature Reserve. The internationally renowned sailing centre of Cowes with its wide range of shops and restaurants is around 5 miles away whilst Yarmouth is around 7 miles.

This charming stone barn was converted in around 2003 and has been run as a successful holiday let since. There are wooden framed double-glazed doors and windows throughout with extensive exposed beams providing an abundance of character. Approached via a shared driveway leading into an extensive gravel parking area, the property benefits from ample parking and various outdoor stores. The adjacent ancient woodland extends to just under an acre and includes an array of mature trees and woodland flowers. While there is not a restriction on how many weeks can be spent in the property, purchasers must be able to prove that their permanent address is elsewhere.
