Lot 44 Two Cottages, Two Barns With Consent For Six Two-Bedroom Holiday Cottages And A Pottery Barn And Car Park Which Are Let CommerciallyAuction Date:
30th October 2025

An opportunity to acquire a rare combination of property comprising a four-bedroom cottage known as Old Stables, three-bedroom holiday cottage known as Little Stables, a pottery workshop/barn, a pair of large Atcost barns with consent for six two-bedroom holiday cottages and a car park (let under a commercial lease), all set in attractive grounds which includes a stream.

The site is located towards the western end of the Isle of Wight with the larger settlements of Calbourne and Freshwater approximately equidistant to the east and west respectively. The property has the major advantage of a significant ready-made income with the car park let to the adjacent pottery and tea room, while an adjoining barn/workshop is let to a local potter under the terms of a commercial lease.

The owner's accommodation extends to a most attractive four-bedroom barn-style home, while next door is a splendid three-bedroom holiday cottage which is at present vacant, with the cottages enjoying private gardens and car parking accessed via an electric gate, and an electric car charging point on site. In addition, a pretty stream runs through the end of the garden.

The large Atcost barns have Planning Consent for conversion to provide six, two-bedroom holiday cottages with car parking and offering additional scope for a splendid home and income setup, if required. Alternatively, the owner's cottage and newly constructed holiday cottages could all be let in addition to the significant income already generated.

To the rear of the Atcost barns is a small woodland copse which could be incorporated into gardens for the holiday cottages or left to provide screening for the site.
