Gurnard, Isle of Wight

A rare opportunity to acquire a stunning 3.2 acre site with planning consent for a contemporary house with breath-taking views over Thorness Bay and across The Solent

Oakwood Plot - Occupying a secluded, rural setting close to the sought after the village of Gurnard, this building plot benefits from incredible views across The Solent to the Hampshire Coast. It is offered with approved planning permission for a stunning 2 storey contemporary home extending to around 350 square meters designed to make the most of the magnificent outlook. Approached over a shared track, the site extends to just over 3 acres and largely comprises mature woodland with some wonderful mature trees with bluebells and other wild flowers. A path leads through mature woodland to the south of the plot where there is a Scandi style cabin which provides an idyllic retreat from which the sea views can also be enjoyed.

Thorness Bay is a 10 minute walk away. In addition to the local shops, a sailing club, cafes and 2 pubs in Gurnard, the plot is only a short drive from the bustling town of Cowes with its international sailing scene and high-speed ferry links to Southampton, enabling easy access to the Southampton Airport and London.
