Description

This Grade II*-listed Georgian country house, steeped in history and set within 19 acres of picturesque grounds, presents an exceptional opportunity for renovation and investment. Renowned as Standen House, the property boasts an impressive range of outbuildings and features distinct architectural elements that echo its storied past. With substantial living space over three floors, including eight bedrooms—four of which are en-suite—and a two-bedroom annexe, this estate offers tremendous potential for modernisation and repurposing. The traditional layout includes multiple reception rooms, a ballroom, and an extensive kitchen with ancillary spaces that can be creatively transformed to suit contemporary living standards. Surrounding the main residence are various agricultural buildings including a partially refurbished garden cottage, stables, and a tithe barn—all situated around a charming cobbled courtyard. These structures may provide additional residential or leisure opportunities (subject to necessary permissions) that would further enhance the property’s value. The surrounding gardens feature formal landscaping along with mature trees and an 18th-century walled garden ripe for revitalisation. The expansive pastureland and wooded areas add to the appeal while offering privacy amid stunning vistas of the countryside. Though well-maintained historically, Standen House is now primed for refurbishment to align its grandeur with modern needs—making it not only a family home but also an attractive investment prospect on the Isle of Wight.
