Long Lane, Newport

Standen Heath Farm is a rare and highly appealing lifestyle property, combining the comfort of a modern barn-style home with the charm and flexibility of rural living. The main residence offers beautifully presented single-storey accommodation, centred around a striking open-plan living, dining and kitchen space with a vaulted beamed ceiling, oak flooring and wonderful views across the grounds. Both bedrooms benefit from ensuite facilities, making the home practical and well balanced.
What truly sets this property apart is the wider setting and the lifestyle it offers. The land extends to approximately 5.52 acres and incorporates gardens, wooded areas, animal enclosures, outbuildings and guest accommodation.

Alongside this, the static caravan and range of barns add further flexibility, making the property suitable for a variety of buyers, from those seeking a rural home with income potential, to those looking for a smallholding, multigenerational space or a complete change of pace.
This is not simply a house with land; it is a complete lifestyle proposition.

Outside, Grounds and Lifestyle

Standen Heath Farm is all about lifestyle, setting and opportunity. The property sits within approximately 5.52 acres and has been thoughtfully arranged to create a peaceful and highly versatile countryside retreat. The grounds are beautifully sectioned, with open garden areas, wildflower planting, wooded boundaries and practical spaces designed for smallholding life.
There are dedicated areas for goats, chickens and ducks, giving the property a wonderfully rural and characterful feel. For those seeking a more self-sufficient lifestyle, or simply wanting space, privacy and a connection with nature, the grounds offer enormous appeal.
The two shepherd huts are tucked away in a secluded woodland setting and form an established income stream, with a strong record of repeat business. Each has been beautifully hand-built and thoughtfully positioned to make the most of the peaceful surroundings. The setting is ideal for short breaks, stargazing, outdoor cooking and quiet woodland escapes, with a wood-fired hot tub adding to the sense of retreat.
In addition to the main residence and shepherd huts, there is also a two-bedroom static caravan, complete with wraparound decking and lovely views across the grounds. This offers further flexibility for guests, family overflow or potential ancillary use, subject to any necessary permissions.
There are also a number of useful barns and outbuildings, including storage areas, a tractor barn and additional covered space. These provide excellent practicality for machinery, animals, equipment, hobbies or future use, depending on a buyer’s requirements. The whole property really does need to be seen in person to appreciate the space, atmosphere and versatility on offer.
