Compton Grange, located in Freshwater on the Isle of Wight, is a remarkable stone detached house set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) along the picturesque south coast. This unique property is surrounded by National Trust downland and is just a short walk from Compton Bay, a two-mile stretch of sandy beach ideal for swimming, surfing, and fossil hunting. The area is renowned for its stunning sunsets and has recently been recognized as one of the UK’s top stargazing locations, making it a perfect retreat for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.
The cottage accommodates up to eight guests with four well-appointed bedrooms, including two with superking zip and link beds that can be converted into twin rooms. The interior features a spacious and light-filled hallway leading to a kitchen dining area that offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape, including the iconic white cliffs of Freshwater Bay and Tennyson Downs. The sitting room provides a cozy atmosphere with ample seating and a comforting electric fire, all while overlooking the garden and the sea, ensuring a tranquil environment for relaxation.
Outside, guests can enjoy a beautifully maintained garden that includes a lockable garage for storing outdoor equipment such as bicycles and surfboards, as well as a table tennis table for recreational activities. The garden features a large lawn, fruit trees, and a shallow stream, creating a natural playground for families. A secluded "secret garden" offers an additional private space for guests to unwind, complete with a barbeque and seating areas surrounded by lush greenery and wildlife, including ducks, geese, and the occasional hawk.
While Compton Grange provides a serene escape, it is conveniently located near various attractions in Freshwater Bay, Yarmouth, and Brighstone. Guests can experience the beauty of the Isle of Wight year-round, whether it’s enjoying the quiet beach in winter or watching the sunset from the garden after a day of exploration. This charming retreat promises a memorable experience for families and friends seeking both adventure and tranquility in a stunning natural setting.
