Description

This former Rectory, located on the fringe of the popular coastal village of Brighstone, boasts a fascinating history and characterful accommodation. The property, listed as Grade II, features a wealth of fine features, including impressive fireplaces, ancient wooden paneling, and original window shutters. The generously proportioned principal rooms overlook the secluded gardens, which cover about half an acre. The property also includes a basic self-contained two-bedroom apartment on the second floor, accessible via its own gated pedestrian access or from the first-floor landing. The property has a rich history, having been home to several notable figures, including a Bishop who wrote hymns, an anti-slavery campaigner, and a paleontologist who discovered a Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton. The property is situated within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with country views from the upper floors and easy access to the coast, beaches, and surrounding countryside.
