Located in Ventnor on the Isle of Wight, this unique vacation home offers a blend of historical significance and modern comfort. Set on the highest point of the island, the property is a converted World War II Receiver Station that played a vital role in the UK’s Chain Home Radar Early Warning System, which was crucial during the Battle of Britain. Today, visitors can enjoy a stay in this piece of British history while taking in the stunning views of the surrounding National Trust landscape and the coastline.
The accommodation is designed to comfortably sleep up to eight guests, featuring four spacious bedrooms on the ground floor. Among these, three are large doubles—two of which come with en-suite bathrooms—while the fourth is equipped with twin beds. Guests will also find a utility room and a family bathroom on this level. The first floor boasts an expansive open-plan living area that integrates the kitchen, dining, and lounge spaces, all of which offer breathtaking views of the bay and the sea.
One of the standout features of the property is its large protected roof terrace, which provides panoramic vistas across the Isle of Wight and back to the mainland. While the ground floor bedrooms, although luxurious, do not offer direct views due to the building's historical architecture, the remarkable views from the first floor more than compensate for this. The unique layout of the home allows guests to appreciate its historical character while enjoying modern amenities.
In addition to the property’s features, the surrounding area offers a variety of activities for all ages. Outdoor enthusiasts can explore walking trails through the beautiful National Trust land, while families can visit local attractions such as the Isle of Wight Donkey Sanctuary and the House of Chilli. For those interested in water sports, scuba diving and snorkeling opportunities abound nearby. The location also provides easy access to Ventnor Park and the Shanklin and Sandown Golf Club, ensuring a diverse range of experiences for guests looking to explore the island.
