About this property
Chinefields is a stunning, semi-detached house nestled in the west of the Isle of Wight, where you can witness stunning sunsets. Positioned just paces away from the beach and glistening waters of Colwell bay and Totland bay, you can enjoy the beach or go rambling through the scenic countryside. This fine accommodation is ideal for a family or group of friends looking to explore a picturesque region of the island. Relax and unwind in the sitting room, elegantly presented with cream sofas, plush carpet and plenty of natural light from the French doors. The large kitchen with dining area includes useful cooking appliances and for coffee lovers a Nespresso machine. There are three rather glamorous and spacious bedrooms on the first floor, perfect for taking yourself off for a quiet read or getting ready for an evening out. The master bedroom at the front offers clean lines and coordinating colour schemes with bedside tables, lamps and ample storage space. Next, the family room plays host to 2 spacious single beds and mirror-fronted wardrobes, whilst the twin room continues this stylish theme seamlessly. Find the family bathroom at the end of the landing, brought together with cream, white and champagne-colour schemes uplifting your mood. Indulge in a hot soak in the P-shaped bath tub or choose to wake up to a refreshing shower each morning. Outside, make use of the sunny patio with a chilled drink or a warming cup of tea, while the kids play on the lawn. Stroll into the village of Freshwater to find a selection of independent shops mixed with cafés, pubs and the West Wight Sports Centre. Take a short stroll to The Hut, for a drink or bite to eat, enjoying the exceptional views of the coast. Enjoy golfing at the renowned Freshwater Bay Golf Club and take in the glorious scenery of high chalk cliffs and sandy beaches that draw many tourists to the area time and again. There is plenty of walking, cycling, horse riding (at Hill farm) close by and slightly further afield is Osbourne House, the former home of Queen Victoria, in East Cowes. A splendid getaway for an enjoyable holiday the year-round.
The village of Freshwater and Freshwater Bay make the perfect base for a great holiday. The main village is full of eclectic little shops, with a choice of lovely restaurants and some good hotels. Freshwater Bay is a picturesque location that boasts scenic downs, white chalk cliffs and gorgeous beaches, no wonder visitors flock there all year round! Freshwater Bay is the ideal destination for lovers of the outdoors including bird watchers, walkers and cyclists, with many wonderful walking trails over the Tennyson and Afton Downs.

There was an issue with a leak while we were there and the owners got it fixed very efficiently. Very comfortable accommodation and the living room is bigger than it looks in the photos. We had a great stay and would definitely return.

Very well equipped Kitchen. Easy parking off road for 1 vehicle. Enclosed outside space, sunny south facing rear garden. Garden furniture a little "tired" but useable. Would return to property again, next time we are on the Island.
