This property enjoys an idyllic situation, set within three acres of grounds which, in turn, are surrounded by fields which provide an attractive backdrop to enjoying relaxing country walks and cycling. One such walk brings visitors to the neighbouring village of Godshill, just one mile away which is a great central base for exploring all that the Isle of Wight has to offer. This well-appointed village has a lovely olde worlde feel to it with its independent specialist shops, tea rooms, pub/restaurants and an interesting model village. A mile in the opposite direction, meanwhile, leads to Appuldurcome House, an English Heritage property which boasts beautiful gardens landscaped by Capability Brown. Other attractions nearby include the beaches at Ventnor and Shanklin, Ventnor Botanic Gardens, Ventnor Golf Course with views aplenty and the Isle of Wight Donkey Sanctuary.
An impressive drive leads to the front of this Regency manor house, one wing of which is occupied by the holiday cottage. One and a half steps will lead guests inside to find the hallway which leads onto the lounge/diner. This elegant room has a large bay window in front of which sits the dining table, allowing guests to enjoy the views across the grounds as they eat. An inviting sofa and armchairs give guests a comfortable spot from which to enjoy those views, or perhaps settle down for the evening in front of the TV/DVD. Another door from the hallway leads to the galley-style kitchen which is equipped with everything that guests will need to prepare their favourite dishes, including an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, microwave, Dualit toaster, Nespresso coffee machine and washer/dryer. The property’s bedroom is a charming light-filled room with a king-size bed with sumptuous Egyptian cotton sheets. This room also has extra space for an additional single bed. The bathroom, meanwhile, offers a shower over bath and WC.
To the front of the property there is a private patio with garden furniture which is exclusively for guests’ use, where red squirrels can often be spotted in the gardens. One car can be parked close to the property, or in the garage which can alternatively be used to store bikes etc.
