It benefits from dual aspect to the front and rear of the house. The lounge and kitchen look out to the front of the house with all three bedrooms overlooking the gardens to the rear and a large Cedar tree where you can often see red squirrels, woodpeckers and other local fauna.

We were unable to buy a kettle that would make 8 cups of tea at once, so we have installed a Grohe instant boiling water system in the kitchen so that everyone can have their morning tea/coffee at the same time.

The dining area has a large table and seating for everyone with a large chandelier above. There are French doors that open out on to the South facing terrace, overlooking the gardens and pool.

Local Area

The Isle of Wight is a favourite destination for walkers. It has a wide variety of countryside ranging from river estuaries to spectacular cliffs. Picturesque villages give way to pretty farms, river valleys and nature reserves. Almost half of the island is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Plan your walk to include an attraction, such as the Botanic Gardens at Ventnor (free entry), Nunwell House at Brading, the Needles Battery. Or just through a picturesque village-like Godshill. Or enjoy the contrast of descending from the isolation of Tennyson Down into the busy Alum Bay Theme Park, and then on towards Colwell Bay.
