2 bedroom cottage to rent

A rare opportunity to rent a character two bedroom cottage which is finished to a very high standard and is situated in a tucked away rural location and set in large beautifully maintained communal grounds.

Stickworth Hall was originally a fine Georgian period property built in the late 1700s and has had various extension at different periods since. It was originally built as a country residence and was last used as a country hotel until its conversion into apartments and cottages in its more recent history. The property is tucked away at the end of a private lane with convenient access to the close-by cycle path which stretches from Sandown through to Newport along the old railway line. Newport is within a fifteen minute drive away and it is a similar length journey to Lake, Sandown and Shanklin.
