Description

This distinguished Grade II*-listed Georgian country house, known as Standen House, is a remarkable property set within 19 acres of picturesque countryside. It boasts an impressive array of original features and ample space across its expansive 9,000 sq ft layout. The house includes a grand entrance hall, multiple reception rooms such as a drawing room and ballroom, a spacious dining area with access to a secluded courtyard, and a traditional kitchen. With eight bedrooms—four of which are en-suite—spread across the first and second floors, along with an additional two-bedroom annexe, the property offers significant accommodation options suitable for families or guests. The extensive range of outbuildings surrounding the cobbled courtyard presents excellent opportunities for redevelopment into residential or leisure spaces (subject to necessary consents). Notably, there's a charming partially refurbished garden cottage that could enhance living accommodations if completed. The former coach house and stables also present potential for modernisation. Despite being well-maintained over the years, this property requires modernisation to fully align with contemporary standards while retaining its historical charm. This is an exceptional opportunity for investors looking to restore and renovate one of the Isle of Wight's architectural treasures while benefiting from its secluded yet accessible location.
