DESCRIPTION Rowborough Manor is a stunning, detached non-listed manor house that has been tastefully refurbished by the current owners. Set within just under 1.65 acres of grounds and gardens, the property benefits from several useful outbuildings including a Studio and gym. The gardens and grounds include a vegetable garden, paddock and woodland area. The property has the space and existing layout to potentially provide for a self-contained annexe, should that be required.
HISTORY Featured in both the well renowned 'Domesday Book' and 'The Manor Houses of the Isle of Wight', Rowborough Manor is steeped in rich history. It was once identified as being a Saxon manor of Rodeberge. It is reputed to have been part of the land granted by Ine King of the West Saxons to the Abbot of St Swithins, Winchester. In 1086, the Manor was held by Will Fitzastor and then followed the same line of descent to the Russel's of the Yaverland Estate until 1846, when it was purchased by Sir William Oglander, previous owner of the Nunwell Estate.
GROUND FLOOR Accessed via the South Facing porch, Rowborough Manor leads through to the large inner hall which feature flagstone flooring. On one side of the hall there is a living room with wood burner, feature beams and patio doors to the garden terrace. On the other side of the ground floor there is a dining room (with feature beams and a large fireplace currently sealed off), sitting room, kitchen with lots of natural light and seating area, space for a Range style cooker and larder. There is an adjoining utility room with door to the external courtyard. At the eastern end of the house there is a boot, laundry room, shower room, bedroom/office.
FIRST FLOOR The first floor is accessed via three separate staircases. On the first floor, there is master bedroom with built in cupboard, separate dressing room (which could be utilised as an en-suite for the master bedroom if required), family bathroom and bedroom/office.
SECOND FLOOR The second floor is accessed via the main staircase leading to two double bedrooms, both with built in cupboards with the larger bedroom having access to the balcony. From the balcony there is an external spiral staircase to the ground floor.
GARDENS AND GROUNDS Rowborough Manor extends to just under 1.65 acres, and benefits from a private driveway to the main house, from the public highway. The main house benefits from a substantial gravel parking area. The principal garden at Rowborough Manor is a wraparound garden, with a large external courtyard area, including dispersed flowerbeds. To the northeast of the property there is a separate parcel of land which includes a stunning Vegetable Garden (with post and wire fencing), paddock, orchard with fruit trees including apples, plums and blackcurrant and a woodland area. There are five stunning Oak trees across the grounds, all of which are believed to be circa 300 years old (with no Tree Preservation Order).
BUILDINGS Set within proximity to the Manor are several useful domestic and commercial buildings, including a well-built Studio with open space and separate reception area, with toilets and kitchenette, a gym with adjoining 3 bay car port, wood store, log store, a substantial 3 door store room to the rear of the carport and and a useful greenhouse. The Studio could have the potential to be used for alternative uses such as a holiday let (subject to planning permission).
SITUATION Rowborough Manor is situated in a quiet position, close to Bembridge and Seaview on the outskirts of Ryde. The Manor is situated within easy reach of the nearby countryside, Ryde Town Centre and numerous beaches. The Isle of Wight is celebrated as an international yachting and sailing venue, with the annual Cowes Week Regatta in August attracting competitors from all over the world. A full range of yacht and sailing clubs provide a social hub. There are nearby golf courses including Westridge, St Georges & Shanklin and Sandown Golf Club. Ryde School with Upper Chine is the main independent (HMC) School on the Island, offering co-education from pre-school to sixth form on a daily, full or weekly boarding basis. Many Island children commute to mainland schools such as Portsmouth Grammar, St Edward's and Hordle Walhampton Prep and there are good feeder links to conveniently located public schools such as Winchester College and St Swithuns' in Winchester, Bryanston, Canford, and the Sherborne schools in Dorset and Malborough College in Wiltshire. The Island is blessed with a number of boutique hotels and restaurants, including The George in Yarmouth, The Royal in Ventnor; The Hut (recently voted by GQ Magazine as the best experience 4 years running), North House and The Smoking Lobster.
