About this property

Nestled in a beautiful rural location, this enchanting cottage offers a unique getaway experience. Surrounded by spectacular countryside vistas, it beckons you to discover the Island's natural wonders and local gems, all while ideally located for exploration on foot or by bicycle. For those who cherish nature, a tranquil stroll less than a mile from the farm will lead you to the Downs. Here, you'll be treated to breathtaking vistas that unveil the Island's beauty. Families will find many activities to keep young adventurers engaged, from enchanting nature walks and immersive farm tours to engaging workshops and captivating events. Or take advantage of the opportunity to embark on a nostalgic journey aboard the Isle of Wight Steam Railway (3.2 miles), where vintage locomotives and scenic routes transport you back while showcasing the Island's charm. Steeped in history, this charming cottage boasts a unique character, with the original mill stones proudly displayed at the entrance.

As you step through the front door, you'll be greeted by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The heart of the home is the kitchen/dining room, where contemporary convenience meets rustic charm. A gallery with steps down leads you to the separate, spacious sitting room, bathed in natural light and opening onto a delightful patio. It's the perfect spot for morning coffee or al fresco dining. On the ground floor, you'll discover a cosy and convenient bedroom with an en-suite bathroom featuring a generously sized walk-in shower. Plus, there's a separate vehicle access to the rear of the property, ensuring convenience for all guests. Ascending the stairs, you'll find a tastefully decorated double room with an en-suite bathroom with a relaxing bath, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. A twin bedroom and a separate bathroom with a shower provide comfortable sleeping arrangements for the whole family or friends.

Step outside and immerse yourself in the beauty of the Isle of Wight countryside. The cottage offers outdoor furniture and a BBQ area, ideal for enjoying sunny afternoons and evening gatherings with loved ones. Guests can indulge in leisurely activities at the on-site shared games room, test their skills on the tennis court, or engage in a friendly match on the football pitch. Nature enthusiasts will be thrilled with open access to the vast surrounding land, where chickens, peacocks, and red squirrels freely roam. You'll encounter picturesque highland cattle and graceful horses grazing nearby as you explore the area.
