Fishbourne Lane, Fishbourne, Isle of Wight

Positioned towards the end of the ever-popular Fishbourne Lane, this exceptional, detached home enjoys an elevated setting with uninterrupted views across the Solent and Wootton Creek. Offered to the market for the first time in many years, this rare coastal gem occupies a generous plot with beautifully maintained gardens and direct ownership of the foreshore below—perfect for water-based activities and securing a protected outlook.

The property is approached via a private gravel driveway with a detached double garage and enjoys a peaceful, semi-rural setting accessed via a charming circular green near the waterfront. Designed to embrace its outstanding coastal surroundings, nearly every principal room offers a picture-perfect view of the sea.

Inside, the home is both spacious and welcoming. A large entrance hall leads to a ground floor shower room, an elegant dining hall, and a generous sitting room with a window seat to admire the views. The well-appointed kitchen-diner opens into a light-filled conservatory, which overlooks mature rear gardens and a tranquil copse.

Upstairs, two large bedrooms enjoy breathtaking sea views, with the principal bedroom benefiting from an en-suite and ample storage. A wide landing enhances the sense of space.

Outside, the extensive front garden sweeps down towards the waterfront road and features a covered veranda—ideal for outdoor relaxation. The property offers excellent potential for extension, subject to the necessary permissions.

Combining spectacular views, direct water access, and a peaceful yet convenient location, this home presents a rare opportunity to acquire a truly special property on the Isle of Wight. Whether for full-time residence or a coastal retreat, it promises an enviable lifestyle by the sea.

What the Owner says:

We have loved this place since our parents bought it at auction with Fishbourne House next door in 1970. The current property, this property, was once the site of the stables and was full of treasures including water colour paintings by the Dorien-Smith sisters who had lived in Fishbourne House.

We spent many happy hours enjoying the beach, rowing around the Creek and playing in the copse, making tree houses and camps.
For us, it is a perfect mix of a very secluded garden on one side and the fantastic, ever-changing views of Wootton Creek and the Solent on the other. Tranquil and not overlooked with a garden full of wildlife - we particularly enjoy the red squirrels and woodpeckers that are frequent visitors. The outdoor space is also perfect for entertaining family and friends.

There is a lovely walk to Quarr Abbey with its great café, art exhibitions and piglets to feed. The route is a lovely bridleway/cycle path that extends to Ryde.

It's such a treat having The Fishbourne Inn just a short stroll away—it's great to be able to nip in for a meal or drink without needing the car, as well as adding to the enjoyment of everyday life, having the pub on the doorstep has always made us feel a part of the Fishbourne community.
