Buttle Farm conversion was completed in 2016 to the very highest standard using natural materials, including English limestone and oak creating light contemporary interiors. A strong focus has been placed on minimising environmental impact, utilising solar thermal, solar PV and biomass boiler together with mechanical ventilation and heat recovery.

The property consists of a courtyard of converted farm buildings with ancillary outbuildings. Planning permission is in place to enclose the main entrance and to erect a linking corridor between the timber/brick barn and the guest suites (ref. PL/2023/08203).

Approached through an archway to the courtyard, the entrance to the main house opens into a light-filled hallway/living room which features English limestone flooring and a woodburning stove. Leading off the hallway is the well-appointed kitchen/dining room, equipped with double ovens, warming drawers, microwave combi oven, steam combi oven, two dishwashers and Silestone worktops. Off the kitchen is a useful utility/pantry with access to outside.

The bespoke staircase from the hallway leads to a glass-panelled walkway, off which there are two good-sized bedroom suites with locally sourced, solid English oak floors. The principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and built-in dressing table and bedside tables with an ensuite shower/bathroom, tiled in Crema Marfil marble. At the far end of the walkway is the guest bedroom with ensuite shower room.

Adjoining the main house but accessed via an external door is a generously sized office, the former dairy, that overlooks the courtyard. The office is well-fitted with built-in desks and cupboards and an underfloor wine cellar that runs almost the full length of the room. The plant room and biomass store are accessed via the office and adjoining reception room that also has double doors leading to the lane.

Across the courtyard are two separate guest suites, East and West Cowes, previously used as holiday lets but now with permission in place to convert to residential use, both with lovely views over the rear gravel terrace and beyond to open countryside. The accommodation benefits from underfloor heating throughout the ground floors.

The brick and timber barn has the potential to be a wonderful open reception/party room or ancillary accommodation. Planning permission is in place for full-height double doors onto the courtyard and a glazed walkway linking it to the guest suites. This together with enclosing the entrance archway to the courtyard would create a fantastic, cohesive living space.

The central courtyard is a focal point from all the barns with the lovely original features enhanced by symmetrical planting. To the rear of East and West Cowes suites is a gravelled terrace running the full length of the barn, with a brick pizza oven at one end. With wonderful views over the open countryside, this is a perfect setting for entertaining. Beyond is the paddock, leading to the other fields.

Beside the parking area is a workshop/garage and three-bay modern barn providing useful storage space.

In total the grounds extend to approximately 12.44 acres. Further land and outbuildings are available by separate negotiation.
