An enchanting cottage, complete with an arched thatched roof and cosy features, is now for sale in Calbourne on the Isle of Wight. Tempted?
Surrounded by around three and a half acres of woodland and lawns, Sweetwater Lodge was designed by the famous Regency architect John Nash. Originally the lodge entrance to Westover House, also designed by John Nash, the home was once owned by Colonel Mouton-Barrett – a relative of the poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
The cottage is perfect for cosy living. Spread across one ground floor, it boasts two bedrooms (the largest has fitted wardrobes), one bathroom, contemporary kitchen with a beam above the tiled fireplace, a light and bright lounge/diner, and 3.5 acres of grounds including a private copse, pond and stream.
