Description

Standen House, a Grade II*-listed Georgian country house on the Isle of Wight, boasts an astonishing number of original features, including its symmetrical façade, fine staircase, and spacious living areas. Spanning 9,343 sq ft, the property has 12 serene bedrooms and grounds of 19 acres, comprising formal gardens, grazing fields, and ancillary buildings. The house's Georgian geometry is a testament to the preeminent architectural style of the 1740s, while its interior features original fireplaces, floorboards, and panelling. The grand tour begins with a central doorcase, leading to a hallway with beautifully aged flagstones, an archway, and a 17th-century staircase. The ground floor features refined living spaces, including a dining room, drawing room, and ballroom, while the upper levels offer nine versatile bedrooms, two shared bathrooms, and two en-suite bathrooms. The property's idyllic setting, surrounded by rural land, offers a sense of remove and tranquility, yet is just a mile from the county town of Newport.
