St. Helens, Isle of Wight

Enjoying glorious harbour views, beautiful gardens and a prime position on the edge of the picturesque St Helens Green, sits this extensively refurbished family home.

Wight House is an attractive house following a brilliant remodel and refurbishment carried out in 2010. Now offering exceptional open plan living space, with large sitting room, kitchen, dining and living area, in addition to a study with superb garden and sea views. There are also four bedrooms offering excellent proportions, in addition to two bathrooms on the first floor with a balcony off the principal bedroom with breath-taking views. The gardens have been landscaped and designed to offer a stunning backdrop to the house with plenty of sunny terrace space for outdoor entertaining, in addition to vegetable patches and a driveway at the front providing parking in front of the integrated garage. The house is particularly attractive in and out with rendered elevations, beneath a timber clad upper level and slate tile roof, whilst interiors are tastefully finished with built in storage, hand carved cabinetry, bi-folding doors, oak floors and a fabulous contemporary kitchen.

Ideally situated in the village centre and only a short walk down to the harbour quay and the causeway leading to the sand dunes of the Duver and family friendly beach. The small but vibrant village of St Helens has a village shop, two restaurants and a pub, together with an antiquarian bookshop and excellent access to nearby Bembridge Harbour, with extensive mooring facilities and sailing clubs at Bembridge and Brading Haven. There is easy access to a range of more extensive facilities and mainland transport links at Ryde (approximately 3 miles away) as well as several good beaches, including Bembridge and around Priory Bay.
