Niton Undercliff, located on the scenic south coast of the Isle of Wight, features a charming cottage that provides a serene retreat for up to six guests. The property is accessed via a long driveway leading from the quaint village of Niton Undercliff and is situated within a spacious courtyard, separate from the main house. Built from local Island stone and dating back to the 1800s, the cottage is enveloped by several acres of private gardens that roll down towards the sea, offering breathtaking views. This area is particularly appealing for walking enthusiasts, with close proximity to the coastal path that extends to The Needles, as well as abundant wildlife to observe in the surrounding nature.
The cottage is thoughtfully designed, blending countryside charm with coastal aesthetics, while retaining many original features. Upon entering, guests are greeted by a flagstone floor in the hall, which sets a welcoming tone for the rest of the home. The spacious lounge, equipped with windows overlooking the courtyard, provides a cozy space to relax after a day of exploration, though the wood burner in the lounge is not in use. The open-plan kitchen and dining area is well-equipped with modern appliances, including an electric cooker, microwave, and dishwasher, along with a large dining table that comfortably accommodates the entire party. The Aga stove is available for use during the colder months, adding a touch of warmth to the kitchen ambiance.
Accommodations include three delightful twin bedrooms, ensuring a restful night’s sleep for all guests. The cottage features a bathroom with a shower and a separate WC for convenience. One of the main highlights is the terrace accessible from the main bedroom, where guests can enjoy picturesque views of the courtyard, gardens, and the sea. The expansive gardens surrounding the property offer additional opportunities for relaxation and play, with paths leading to secluded areas perfect for children to run and enjoy games. However, parents should exercise caution as there are two ponds within the gardens that require close supervision of young ones.
For those looking to explore the local area, the charming village of Niton boasts welcoming pubs that serve delicious home-cooked meals, while the sandy beach of Ventnor is just a short drive away. Numerous smaller beaches and coves are also within easy reach, enhancing the appeal of this coastal getaway. With off-road parking available for two cars, including one space in the garage and another in the adjoining courtyard, the cottage provides a perfect base for enjoying the natural beauty and attractions of the Isle of Wight.
