Description
After 23 years, the exquisite West End is finally back on the market and it has been worth the wait. This beautiful country home, set within a 0.62-acre plot, exudes timeless charm and has been thoughtfully renovated, preserving its character while meeting the needs of modern living.
Entering West End, you are welcomed by an impressive wide entrance hall that sets the tone for the entire property, complete with an elegant staircase and generous natural light. Both the sitting room and dining room are imposing spaces, each with original fireplaces and intricate period detailing, while the sitting room is further enhanced by a multi-fuel stove these rooms enjoy original wooden floors. Towards the rear, a cosy snug with another log burner looks out across the terrace and stunning gardens, offering the perfect escape within your own home.
The country kitchen is truly the heart of West End. A bespoke hand-built kitchen finished in New White with granite worktops and integral appliances adds sophistication, complemented by a filtered water fountain. A hidden gem of the home, the walk-in pantry, adds both practicality and storage. Adjoining the kitchen, the conservatory provides a wonderful space to enjoy the beautiful garden views year-round.
Upstairs, five character-filled bedrooms await. The master bedroom and bedroom two are especially noteworthy, each benefiting from dual-aspect views and beautifully crafted mullioned windows to the side elevations, which mirror the architectural grandeur of the ground floor rooms. These rooms capture light and offer serene views across the property’s gardens and village, bringing an added sense of space and elegance.
Currently, bedroom 5 serves as a home office, while another, bedroom three, is unique with its charming circular window overlooking the gardens. Each bathroom has been designed with individuality; the primary bath suite offers a grand setting with a large window framing garden view, a deep soaking tub, an immense shower enclosure and unique hand basin. The second bathroom includes a roll-top bath, vanity cabinet with granite countertop, and delicate glass shelving.
Outside, the grounds are simply enchanting. The sun terrace at the rear is an entertainer’s dream, surrounded by West End’s mature gardens and natural boundaries. At the front, the sweeping gravel driveway gives a regal first impression with convenient in-and-out access. The substantial garage/boathouse is both practical and versatile, with an electric door, ample storage, and an upper floor that could be transformed into additional accommodation. Whether used for holiday lets or as a separate workspace, it offers endless possibilities for those seeking extra income or a creative retreat.
Nestled in the storybook village of Shorwell, West End offers the best of Isle of Wight living, just moments from the vibrant village of Brighstone and the coastline. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history in one of the island’s most cherished locations.

A raised vegetable plot and greenhouse add functionality for gardening enthusiasts, along with timber-built sheds and a compost area tucked subtly at the back.
For those who appreciate thoughtful landscaping, the garden is tastefully sectioned with subtle, manicured flowerbeds, a selection of trees including Bay and fruit trees and delicate grasses to add soft textures throughout. The preserved well, which historically supplied water to the property, is a charming feature, and on the lower landing, you can even find the original water pump, a nostalgic reminder of the property’s storied past.
