The first-floor accommodation comprises of four bedrooms, three of which are good sized double bedrooms, the fourth bedroom, a generous single bedroom which has been used as an office by its occupier, with impressive far-reaching views across the open fields, across the English Channel and along the coastline, as far as Freshwater Bay on a clear day.

What the Owner says:

When I purchased this beautiful home, I had been searching for the perfect residence which exuded charm and offered me privacy, as well as views over the stunning surrounding landscape.

The property exceeded my expectations on first sight, and I have enjoyed many years of looking out over the everchanging views of the beautiful scenery and impressive coastline.

The location is ideal, with the well-appointed village of Niton, close by and easily accessible by car or bus and a vast range of interesting walks exploring this delightful part of the island.
