"Set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this charming four bedroom thatched stone cottage dates back to the 18th century and was thoughtfully extended in the 1970s by renowned island craftsmen Buckets and Son. The extension, which tripled the original footprint, was designed to capture breathtaking south west facing views across open fields, rustic coastline, and the English Channel, with glimpses of Freshwater Bay on clear days.
The ground floor offers a welcoming triple aspect sitting room with a stone fireplace and doors leading to a side terrace perfect for enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The kitchen breakfast room and dining room, featuring exposed beams, provide spacious and characterful living areas, complemented by a utility room and a study, as well as a ground floor bathroom and additional shower room and wc.
Upstairs, four bedrooms are accessed via two separate stairwells, including two principal bedrooms boasting expansive views, two further double rooms, a dressing room, a family bathroom, and generous storage.
Outside, the property sits on approximately 3.43 acres, including mature gardens bordered by farmland and a quiet lane, an outdoor swimming pool, a timber chalet, and a single garage. A large paddock adjacent to the property offers excellent potential for equestrian use or other outdoor pursuits.
This unique home blends historic charm with modern living and offers an exceptional lifestyle in one of the island s most picturesque settings. Whether as a family residence or a countryside retreat, it promises privacy, space, and spectacular views.
Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the character, location, and potential of this remarkable property.
What the Owner says

The long boundary with the sea offers stunning views to the Needles, Tennyson downs and beyond, and the unspoilt wildness is widely considered a gem of the Isle of Wight landscape. What better way to enjoy this breathtaking landscape than along one of the many footpaths that abound this area. This wonderful property is within easy distance of the renowned White Mouse Inn, which was once a favourite amongst both Royalty and smugglers alike, and now offers unrivalled views with great food and drink.
