Brightstone village is almost a ‘hidden gem' along the coast between Ventnor and Freshwater in an AONB with iconic thatched and stone cottages. This property continues the theme of local stone built cottages but was actually rebuilt further away from the road in 1967 with the ground floor extension added in the 1990s. It still however retains the character of a bygone era but with all the benefits of more modern construction techniques with an eclectic mix of old exterior and newly renovated interior, incorporating plenty of flexible accommodation.

It has a large block paved frontage with shrub borders leading to the attractive pair of oak front doors. The dormer windows, central chimney and pitched roof porch gives the cottage has immediate external appeal. There is a spacious dual aspect reception lounge, with a stone floor, feature stone wall and a bespoke staircase and is open plan kitchen/breakfast area and has access the delightfully cosy sitting room with a stunning stone and brick fireplace and a log burner. There are also multi-pane French doors leading to the dining room with a feature stone wall, a wall of windows and French doors to the garden that can also be accessed from the kitchen.

The contemporary modern kitchen/breakfast room includes a breakfast bar, white units with Corian worktops housing a variety of appliances. An inner lobby leads to a bedroom, office, bathroom and utility area and could be converted into a self-contained annex with independent access. Upstairs there is a modern family bathroom and three double bedrooms including one with dual aspect and another with an en-suite double shower.

The landscaped and fenced rear garden has a large gravel terrace bordered by a low wall that opens onto a lawn and a separate decked patio with an outdoor bar and food preparation area.

What the Owner says:
We came here 12 years ago and have loved every minute of it. The house and the surroundings have been a wonderful place to raise our family who have enjoyed playing in the nearby stream, exploring the forest and being able to stroll down to the beach. There is a wonderful sense of community and the village boasts a pub, convenience store, gift shop and a primary school within walking distance as well as plenty of footpaths, bridleways and cycle tracks in the vicinity. The interesting Isle of Wight Pearl has a delightful café where you can revel in uninterrupted sea views, while visitors and residents alike enjoy the Brightstone Christmas Tree Festival with 150 decorated trees located around the area. Freshwater Bay, one of the most picturesque beaches in West Wight, is only a ten-minute drive away. There is a regular bus service to Newport which is only about seven miles away while Yarmouth and Freshwater are about the same distance.
