St Lawrence, Isle of Wight

An extremely light and spacious property on a south facing plot of approximately 1.3 acres with truly panoramic southerly sea views

Craigie Lodge Gardens is a property of generous proportions and consists of three double bedrooms, two bathrooms and kitchen dining room adjacent to an extremely spacious sitting room overlooking the glorious south facing grounds.

Built in around the 1960s the property was designed to make the most of its elevated coastal position, with the majority of rooms enjoying views over the grounds to the English Channel. Within the current ownership, the property has been fully refurbished to include a new kitchen and bathrooms. Being south facing, the property is flooded with natural light, which makes for a wonderful space.

The property is situated in the delightful village of St Lawrence, which has a village store and post office, as well as pop-up bar evenings at the community hall and with direct access to wonderful country and coastal walks, including nearby Woody Bay. A short distance away, is the popular town of Ventnor which offers a wider selection of popular independent restaurants, bars and shops, as well as fish market and renowned Botanic Gardens.
