Only a short ferry ride away from the south coast of England, you will take a journey back in time to a slower, gentler version of England. Cowes, Ventnor and The Needles are all well-known; and the danger of the Isle of Wight is that for some it becomes an addictive experience, drawing you back for holidays time and time again. Dare you try it? There are some stunning accommodation in the Isle of Wight including the Bakehouse Cottage in Newport, Navarino in Ryde, and Afton Barns in Freshwater.
This stone cottage was once the former bakehouse for the village, hence the properties name. It has been comfortably furnished throughout and offers and open plan living/dining room with seating and dining for 6. There is an attractive fireplace with a wood burner which creates a cosy atmosphere, it also has a fully equipped country style kitchen. Views across surrounding countryside can be enjoyed from the bedrooms. There is a driveway to park on and a mature secret garden that can be enjoyed.
This regency style Grade II listed building dates back to 1830 and was built and designed by a captain in the Royal Navy, whose last battle before retiring to the Isle of Wight was the victorious battle of Navarino. This charming holiday home has wonderful architectural features, its regency style is emphasised by a large first floor balcony which runs the width of the property and overlooks the lovely garden. A perfect place to enjoy breakfast, afternoon tea or simply relax and watch the beautiful sunset whilst enjoying an aperitif.
This converted barn, one of a small collection, originally dating back to 1785 offers the perfect retreat. The property is extremely spacious with features including a charming fireplace and exposed beams overhead. Outside, there is a private garden to the side and rear, with a further communal lawn central to the development.
