Set in the peaceful hamlet of Bierley, near Whitwell, and cherished by the same family for over 70 years, this homely retreat offers a warm, welcoming base for an Isle of Wight family holiday. Enjoy scenic countryside walks right from the doorstep, taking in rolling downs, hedgerows, and local wildlife. For coastal adventures, travel 2.5 miles to nearby Reeth Bay and Watershoot Bay for fossil hunting. 11 miles away, Compton Bay promises a classic Isle of Wight beach day with its long stretch of golden sand, dramatic cliffs, and the chance to spot dinosaur footprints at low tide. Visit Newtown Creek (13.5 miles), a stunning National Trust nature reserve, and closer to home, Niton (1 mile) has a handy village shop, chemist and traditional pubs. Families will also love exploring Ventnor Botanic Garden. Historic sites such as Carisbrooke Castle, Osborne House and Brading Roman Villa are also readily accessible.
Enter the house through a bright, airy hallway that opens into the spacious living room. Here, large windows beautifully frame sweeping views of the surrounding countryside, while French doors invite you to step onto the patio to soak up the fresh country air or sip morning coffee with a view. Continue through to the well-equipped kitchen, thoughtfully designed for easy self-catering, and a couple of steps lead you to the dining room that's ideal for family meals or entertaining friends. Through the dining room there is a peaceful twin bedroom, a quiet, cosy place for a restful night. (Please note that the steep stairs adjacent to this bedroom are intended only for emergency use.) Returning to the main entrance, head upstairs to discover three further bedrooms designed with comfort in mind. The main bedroom boasts a large window showcasing breathtaking countryside vistas, while the adjacent shower and toilet room adds extra convenience. Along the landing, you'll find a separate WC, as well as a spacious family bathroom for a soak after a day of exploring. Towards the rear of the house there is a cheerful bunk room with a cot for little guests and further on the light-filled double bedroom promises a tranquil, private space for sleeping.
Outside, expansive views over fields and mature gardens create a serene, private setting surrounded by a meadow rich with wildlife. Dine alfresco on the patio with the BBQ sizzling, unwind in the outdoor seating area, or get competitive with garden games in the sun. Gated private parking for two cars makes arriving and exploring the area completely hassle-free.
