18th Century Charming Character Barn Conversion

Lavender Barn is an 18th century converted barn situated down a quiet farm lane in a rural spot, 15 minutes walking from Parkhurst Forest but only a short distance from Newport. The town has a good shopping centre, many pubs and restaurants and quite a few historical buildings. Beautiful Carisbrooke Castle is situated within walking distance, as is Carisbrooke High Street, (10/15 minutes) which has two pubs and an excellent Italian restaurant. I can offer ferry discounts for Red Funnel. The space My property used to be barns attached to the farm, which is situated just behind, and my back garden is what used to be part of the farmyard. There are fields all around, but access to Newport is very easy (a walk of 40 minutes, or a bus ride of 8-10 minutes) There is a bus stop at the the top of the lane. (Named Alvington Manor Farm) From my home you can also walk to Parkhurst Forest, or Carisbrooke Castle. There are tea/coffee making facilities in the room and you can top-up from the dresser in the kitchen. There is plenty of parking in the drive and guests are free to use the garden . If the weather is nice however, the front garden is an ideal place to relax and unwind and enjoy the view. There is a lot of bird-life around and sometimes ducks, moorhens and hares visit the front garden. PLEASE NOTE: There are 4 uneven steps and concrete at the back of the property and so is not suitable if you have mobility issues. Guest access The dining/kitchen area is a shared space available for your use, but please note I do not allow the cooking of meat in the oven. Out of consideration for other guests, you are asked not to use the kitchen after 9pm. It is possible to arrive earlier than the check in time of 3pm to leave cases and your car if you are going walking or taking the bus, and please contact me beforehand to arrange this.
