Duxmore Farm – Timeless Country Living in the Heart of the Isle of Wight
Tucked away along a long private unmade lane and occupying a plot of approx 1.87 acres, Duxmore Farm offers an increasingly rare opportunity to embrace the peace, privacy and charm of true country living. Set within a traditional farmstead on the outskirts of Newport, this handsome four-bedroom detached home has been cherished by the same family since 1958, with origins dating back to 1880.
Steeped in character, the home beautifully blends its period heritage with thoughtful modern improvements. Original features, including elegant picture rails and traditional servant bells, sit comfortably alongside updated roofing, rewiring, repointing and replacement windows, ensuring the property is ready to enjoy while retaining its historic appeal.
Designed for both family life and entertaining, the spacious accommodation includes three welcoming reception rooms, a light-filled orangery and a farmhouse kitchen centred around a traditional oil-fired Aga. Four generous double bedrooms, a family bathroom, separate shower room and a useful cellar complete the versatile interior.
Outside, Duxmore Farm truly comes into its own. The surrounding land offers the quintessential rural lifestyle, with two paddocks complete with water troughs, a productive orchard filled with apple, pear and plum trees, and a substantial barn incorporating internal stables. Whether you're looking to keep horses, enjoy smallholding life, or simply savour the space and tranquillity, the possibilities are endless. A double garage with electric doors, power and lighting, together with ample parking for multiple vehicles, adds further practicality.
Despite its idyllic countryside setting, Duxmore Farm is just a short drive from Newport, the Isle of Wight's vibrant county town. Here you'll find an excellent selection of independent shops, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, schools and healthcare facilities, alongside picturesque riverside walks and easy access to the island's renowned countryside and coastline. Excellent transport links to the mainland are available via the nearby ferry terminals at Cowes, East Cowes and Fishbourne, offering regular crossings to Southampton and Portsmouth, with onward rail connections to London and beyond.
Offered with no onward chain, Duxmore Farm presents a wonderful opportunity to acquire a characterful country home where heritage, space and an exceptional rural lifestyle come together in one of the Isle of Wight's most peaceful locations.
